Dirk ,
Be carefull blending hot base sauce with a hand blender , I did some a few weeks ago 8ltrs ;D and I had about a cupfull of boiling hot base fly out of the pot all over my bare arm and some on the missu's back  :o I also had some ' mush ' on the bottom of the pot but just kept blending until smooth but you need to rest the blender quite often .
A jug blender makes a better job of blending but can be messy transferring from pot to blender.
Buy a jug blender then reblend your remaining portions.

Also, be similarly careful if blending hot base in a jug blender; hot base tends to spurt out the top if you fill the jug by more than about quarter full.  Best to let it cool first to avoid this hazard  :o

i then blend just a little in the pan so that it does not "dollop" and splash on transfer to the jug. i must admit i don't wait for it to cool.

this is after blending. it's quite thick at this stage and will easily "soft peak"

i then add water and slow simmer for 1 hr with the lid off. i then add further water until it's quite thin. the amount of thinness depends much on how good your stove or hob is in evaping off the water at frying stage,
