With apologies to Mr. Bond, this has nothing to do with martinis...
How do you prepare your paints in the bottles for use; are they shaken, or are they stirred? (Or is there another option I'm missing?)
I've tried several different methods; drop some BB's in the bottle (bad move -- they rust!), and have now tried stainless steel nuts -- but at 25 cents a throw, am I getting my money's worth? (That was in a 100-pack at $25.00.) And I think they're beating the daylights out of the cardboard insert under the lid -- concerned about that. I've tried all kinds of stirring sticks, and recently bought a Badger paint mixer. If I pull the mixer too far out of the bottle when it's running, it throws little bitty spots of paint all over the place... but if I turn the mixer off too soon, there is a lot of paint left on the mixer -- and cleaning it up is no fun.
Anyway -- I turn to wiser minds than mine for answers. What works best in your experiences, and why?
Thanks in advance for your helpful answers.
Regards,
Tom Stockton
