PAINT Shaker

Jan's Painting Tips from The DYSON Team

• MIXING YOUR PAINT SHOULD TAKE NO LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS TO 1 MINUTE WHEN USING OUR SHAKER.  IT SHOULD REMAIN WELL MIXED FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS.  SO SHAKE THE PAINT JUST PRIOR TO PAINTING YOUR PROJECT.
   

• SOME MANUFACTURERS HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT IF YOUR PAINT HAS SOLIDIFIED SOMEWHAT SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU USED IT, ADD A LITTLE WATER AND SHAKE.  YOU WILL FIND THAT THE "SHAKER" INCORPORATES THE WATER BEAUTIFULLY.
   

• I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT 35 MM FILM CARTRIDGES ARE A PERFECT SIZE FOR FITTING INTO OUR "SHAKER" FOR MIXING NEW COLORS AND ALSO STORING IT FOR FUTURE USE.  APPLY A THIN LAYER OF CLEAR NAIL POLISH ALONG THE EDGE OF LID TO SEAL IT.   IT WILL EASILY BREAK LOOSE WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PAINT AGAIN.  NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH A TOUCH UP COLOR THAT DOESN'T MATCH.
   

• THE 35 MM FILM CARTRIDGE IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT CONTAINER FOR MIXING WASHES.  THE FILM CARTRIDGES ARE AVAILABLE "FREE" FROM ANY STORE THAT PROCESSES FILM.
   

• OLDER PAINT SOMETIMES PRODUCES "SEEDS" WHICH ARE SMALL LUMPS OF PAINT.  TRY CUTTING A SQUARE OF PANTY HOSE AND PLACED OVER THE BOTTLE WITH THE CAP REMOVED, REPLACE CAP AND SQUEEZE OUT AS USUAL.
