Several accessories will help prepare the volume of lube that you want to make before your event.

1.
THE VESSEL

A big vessel to mix your lube. Making batches in 5 gallon pails is easy, but if you want to make more than 5 gallons, you'll need a bigger container or have your pit ready to be filled. We don't sell pails because shipping them is expensive and you can get them at any hardware store. We use a rinsed-out empty Costco detergent pail.

Other good options include:

Trash cans (Clean!)
Rubbermaid storage boxes
A wheel barrow
Very large cooking containers
Any other sort of barrel - secondary containment barrels for shipping are great too.

A rotary mixer attachment - the easiest way to do this is buy a paint mixer attachment with your kit or add one to your order through our product page and use your own drill.

You can also manually mix it with a large spoon or paddle, but bring the elbow grease!

THE WRESTLING PIT - We've seen lots of ideas - what we've found works the best is pictured here. It's the foam basin and liner from a king size Soma tube-system waterbed. It's the perfect system for an ASTROLUBE® wrestling pit since it's large, soft, impervious to ASTROLUBE®, and holds plenty of it right where you want it.

Here are some other ASTROLUBE® pit options that may be easier to achieve:

To Buy:
Blow-up kiddie pool
Plastic kiddie pool - be sure to place it on grass. Finding a big one can be tough though.
Drained-above ground pool

To Construct:
Hay bale octagon with a plastic liner
Foam pipe insulation around PVC with a plastic liner - click here for plans.
A low spot in the earth with a plastic liner - a sand volleyball court that's bordered by grass could be a great place to do this - try to keep sand out of your ASTROLUBE® by stretching the plastic all the way across the sand.
Other ideas are limited only by your imagination.

Rinse system - It's very nice to quickly spray your contenders off after they're done. If you want the water to be warm, attach a garden hose to a sink faucet or shower and run it out the window.

It's even nicer to have a hottub handy.
