ParticipantHi,
Does any one use one they can recommend?
Has to fit Coat D’arms paint pots if that makes a different.
I paint only intermittently and have a lot of oldish paints that I am now finding a pain to manually shake and get mixed to a reasonable consistency.
cheers

ParticipantWould a small ball bearing in the paint pot work for you?
Never argue with an idiot. They'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

ParticipantHi Ruarigh,
I already try that, have done for years, it does help but not enough.

ParticipantI have one of these, which works well enough, but is not worth the price being asked here. I think I paid about 20 quid at least 5 years ago.

ParticipantThere are many devices that with the addition of rubber bands or a velcro strap make great paint shakers at a much more reasonable price, they aren’t customarily marketed as paint shakers though.
If you were keen to make a paint shaker, it’s a simple matter of a geared irregular weight, a small electric motor, a 9v battery, straps and a base.

ParticipantA few months back I purchased essentially the same thing Geof linked to, but this one was marketed as a nail polish shaker. A bit cheaper that way I guess. Works really well when combined with SS balls. Did have to super-glue the little screw that holds the cradle as it kept shaking itself loose.

ParticipantHuh, maybe it’s time to tag along next time the wife goes to the beauty store.

hmm, errr, if you say so….
Thanks for the various suggestions, a nail shaker sounds like the best bet so it’s time for Amazon!

Which is nice 🙂
