Swampsnyper, thanks for taking the time to share and i agree with you, compared to your other options, soilfloc was a great invention!
I too found that applying one scoop of part A and B was too tedious. I actually used a hand grass seed spreader but loaded the spreader with 1 scoop A, then 1 scoop B, etc till full. I let the twirly at the bottom mix the two as it came out the bottom. It also gave a very nice even white coating on top of the water which then would slowly sink into a gel-y mess. By having a nice even coating on the water I didn't have to worry so much about pacing out the intervals on shore, I could see where I had been and just painted lanes of white powder as I went.
For me it helped to have a shore crew move me at a nice slow steady speed while I worked on cranking the seed spreader. I'm sure your idea of putting equal mixtures in a bucket, stirring thoroughly and then trying to throw it in a smooth high arc to get it to settle evenly would work well too.
Like you I agreed to buy more than I ended up needing. I did a fall application and then kept the rest dry and did it again the next spring. I ended up a year later doing a 3rd light application because I like how it works, and each application seemed to work a little bit more. I also wanted to focus a little more on the banks where occasionally we get high water and then wicking into the surrounding soil and grass.
Especially I notice the bottom in the shallows now instead of being loose sand is like a hard packed sand that you almost have to chisel through. If you try to take a stick and poke it into the sandy bottom it just won't go in. That tells me we have some pretty good congealing or sealing of the sediment particles.
