You know, I thought about this the other day. I was sort of concerned
about gassing myself.
I was thinking that a two-tube probe, sort of like a giant
version of those 2-part epoxy squeeze tubes, would be ideal.
The products only mix at the end of the two tubes.
Maybe a couple pieces of clear poly tubing, taped together, with
funnels on the ends...

Yea, that's probably safer, if not as satisfying as (boom!) Rodex.
How much draino and bleach per hole?
