Shaking it like a bar tumbler may not have been a good idea then. Sorry Mr...Fudd.

It made no difference after all the junk oozed out. Still said the same thing. No worse no better.
It did feel counterweighted towards the bottom. Is that normal or should it feel 50/50 balanced when dry? I wonder if so much crud is impacted that it simply just stops in a pile of muck at the bottom of the sender.
