Vallejo paint stirring done the cheap and easy way

Post by AcrylicBob »

Hi! Folks
I've been thinking a little about the stirring of Vallejo paints for airbrush and paintbrush.
Since I've got 70 bottles of them so far, I'd really wanted a quick and easy way of stirring them when needed.
So I played around with some parts I had at home and I came up with this idea that I would like to share.
I've tried it myself on at least 20 different bottles and it seems to work fine.

The following materials are used:
Spring from large paper notepad.
Cable feedthrough rubber grommet with 7mm inner diameter, can be bought in a hardware store.
A pair of clear glass beads 6 mm bought in a hobby store.
The grip is the rubber holder for a Dremel rotating sandpaper and lined on the outside with textile tape for better grip.


Attention!!! Don't forget to tighten the lid before you start.


Here's my video and I hope it's not to much to understand, if so, don't be a stranger if you've got any questions. :)

Please! Have mercy on me, since this is my first online video experience, oh and turn up the audio if you want to hear what I mumble about. :D

A sprue a day keeps the doc away, or was it a bottle of glue a day that keeps the brain away :crazy:

You're welcome Paul.:-)

This is just a simple but working prototype and idea, free to use and improve for anyone who feel like doing so.
