Avoid by using a circular-end paint mixer from any paint store.

Commercial drum mixers are in the Grainger catalog, but they are $400!

I found (yard sale) a 2" s. steel propeller on a long s. steel shaft, 
motorized.  Works great for mixing syrup in a 55-gal drum!  1:1 mixes with 
cold water.  If anyone knows a source for this sort of propeller, let me 
know! (I want one with reverse pitch).
