What they say

another gallon right here. This gallon's been sitting for quite a while. I'm going to show you get a closeup look of this before I stir it up. And we'll show you what it looks like and how fast this gallon of paint um this one's been sitting for quite a while. And but you're going to get tint um tint float. That's a tint coming up to the top and the clay settling down to the bottom pretty rapidly in some paints. I've even seen some exterior paints within hour within hours get tint float in them. So, it's very important if you've purchased the paint the day before and you're going to be using it the next day prior to using it to stir your paint. Once again, if you don't stir your paint, the number one issue you're going to run into is uh touch-up issues or color difference issues because the tint isn't properly stirred. um some of the clays and some of the the binders and stuff like that aren't stirred in as much, but it's the tint that really isn't evenly distributed throughout the can that is extremely important. So, I'm going to stir this one up and we'll give you a close-up look of what this looks like. So, one of the things I do like about this uh this stir whip from Hyde is the footprint of this thing is a lot smaller. So, if I was to stick this one into say a full gallon of paint, this large one, it could cause the full gallon of paint to overfill. This the footprint is a lot smaller. The shaft is a lot smaller. So, it's not going to cause a full gallon of paint to overfill. But, I'll show you how fast that it's it'll actually mix up this gallon of paint. You want to start at the bottom and then work your way up. Now, that right there is mixed better than the shaker would mix it at the paint store. That's 100% mixed. You're not going to get any uh color differences, variances, or any type of adhesion issues with this gallon of paint right there. That if I shook that thing up with by hand, it probably would have I would had to shake that thing for about 5 minutes. And you can see that was less than a minute and no effort. The whole shaking of a full gallon of paint, you know, takes a whole lot of effort, especially if it's 105° outside. 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…
