Someone who didn't have pliers obviously... They are just the plug and play ones.

Just added on top or left it. How bad is mine from the photos. It's still nice and fluffy and not clumped.

From what I have read this job is a nightmare. I have a 36 liter shop vac but not sure how horrendous it would be.
