Nooooooo~sick. This is just my way of doing it and on venues / days when the fish want paste it’s never let me down and won me a fair bit of dosh at Whiteacres. Just use an old liquidiser (50p from a car boot sale) and bash up some 6mm pellets. The bigger the pellets the quicker they turn to powder but 8mm and above tend to smash open the side of the liquidiser container! Anything less than 4mm just tends to get pushed around the container by the blades without being cut. Give it about thirty seconds per 1/4 pint of pellets and put this in the bait box. DON’T seive it. The left over slightly larger bits feed off the silvers IMO. As soon as you get to your peg half fill a round plastic bowl with water and any flavouring then add about a third the amount of power to water. Give that a stir every two minutes or so and you will end up with a very sloppy paste with bits in after ten minutes. If this is too sloppy for you just add a bit more powder and stir every 5min until you are happy/confident with the consistancy.

Hope this helps.
