PanzerWomble Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 No , not for that reason ..😁 ..from shaking with wits out of paint bottles to mix them up, esp if they are a bit older . I bought one of these Timodel Shakers a year ago , was a bit dubious how effective it would be , as it is a rebranded generic chinese nail polish shaker. However after using it for a while I can report it works well . With new paint if you added some thinner to the bottle @ 15 seconds and your good to go. Also works for rejunvinating older paints that have settled. For ancient paints I give them quick stir to break up the sediment and then shake them for 30 seconds , with good results. I work mainly with Tamiya, Alclad and Vallejo FYI This one is battery powered ( not great) but works far better on a mains lead . Comes with a UK plug too . Paid £28 for mine from Jadlam , they are on eBay for the same. I've no relation or stake in the company , just a surprised happy user . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hmmmm one thing I’m guilty of as well is not shaking or stirring paints for long enough. Thanks PW, I’ll have a look…….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I have a bag...100 or more....3/16" steel balls that i add a couple to each bottle of paint....rattle, rattle works well. I wouldn't mind having a paint shaker though...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I use an old jig saw with a small Irwin wood clamp inserted into the blade holder. I simply cup my hand around the bottle while it’s running. Jig saw is variable speed so it’s not full throttle shaking. Go as fast or as slow as I want. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I have this one. It works really well on Vallejo style dropper bottles. It's a little harder to use for Tamiya style bottles, but the advantage of using it is, it really feels good on your hand, thumb and wrist when you use it...lol Ron G 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks for the suggestion, Guy. I've been thinking about a paint shaker for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Lazy gits😌, I use a large nail and stir until it hurts and then some. Cleans very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
