Comparing Stirring Methods and Final Tips

So, here's just a look at the traditional method. I got a gallon of paint. Now, here's one that's been setting for quite a while. Right here, we can get a a close-up look. We've got a whole lot of acrylic resin set over the top. Now, I'm going to begin stirring this. Got some clays down on the bottom. See, this is this method, you know, works. This is, you know, what I did for years. So, it's a just a wooden circ that I got free from my local paint store. And yeah, that's probably going to take, you know, twice as long, two to three times longer to stir that up. I'm starting to see it's starting to look. That's pretty good right there. All mixed up. I definitely with using, you know, a mechanical device, I definitely feel a lot more comfortable that the tint is evenly more evenly dispersed throughout the paint. But that's mixed up good enough there. I'd be good to go for a day. I wouldn't have to stir that up again. That's nice and stirred up, ready to go. So, I got a gallon of paint here. I'm going to open this one up. This one's been setting uh for about a week or so. This is the paint for the academy right here. We've got a little bit of tint buildup. Um some acrylic resin on the top of it. Here is a traditional This is the traditional stir that I've used for years and years and years. This one is probably I don't know probably 5 6 years old.

Paint starts to build up. This you can't. But this one's a lot lighter weight, smaller shaft. So, and I feel like it's just a little bit more effective stirring the paint. And if you don't have a chuck large enough to hold this thing, that's going to be another issue. Most drills nowadays are big enough that you can hold it. But we'll take a look. Now, I'll stick this in there. But that 5gallon there is now completely mixed up, ready to be used right there. But once again, the stir whip, if I didn't want to take off the lid and risk, you know, paint splattering while I was stirring it. Because as you rise this up, paint is actually going to flick off this thing, as you rise it up to get to the top as it's stirring. And you're not going to have that issue inside the bucket. If you're just whipping it around inside the bucket, it will when it comes out of the hole, the stir whip, it'll do the same thing as it rises out of the…
