Assess Bentonite Distribution

What happens here

After dumping some bentonite, the narrator peers down into the pipe opening to assess its depth and distribution. He expresses uncertainty about whether the bentonite has settled sufficiently to reach and plug the broken section and considers using a paddle or a stick to push the material further down the pipe.

Goal: The narrator attempts to gauge how far the bentonite has settled within the pipe and if it's effectively reaching the leak point.
