Title: An automated paint shaker
Post by: Norm on 29 December 2020, 07:15:04 PM
I am using a nail varnish shaker to shake up my Vallejo dropper bottles. Photos on the blog.

You should start marketing them (sprayed a suitable Olive Drab for gamers) - I can see them shooting off the shelves.

Brilliant!

Sounds great. I've been looking at lab vortex mixers for a while, but have been put off by size and cost. So I will have a look at these as an option, as there always seem to be some paints that refuse to mix!

Good to hear it works :)

Sounds much safer than using an electric saw :o X_X

Looks interesting. Not sure where I would put it, despite having a small dining table as my painting table.

I've got one, it is very good, especially if you put one of those little balls in the paint pot.

Best Ben

I'll be adding one to my 2021 wish list - that Desert Yellow (& German Grey-Green) issue has been driving me nuts for a while  :D

Many thanks - a 'star' suggestion

I wonder if I could get away with buying one for Mrs Orcs for her birthday them using it myself ?    ;)

Nothing wrong with nail varnish  :P.

I have used it in the past, to seal the bottom of three of the nails on my right hand.....For some unknown reason.....(Probably using Green Stuff 52 weeks of the year)....I've destroyed the cuticles on those three fingers and I constantly get whitlows.

Before anyone asks......I use CLEAR varnish.

(I've also got packets and packets of clear false nails, to stick on with 'superglue' if a nail gets so b*ggered it's ready to snap off at the base.)

Cheers - Phil :D

Nail Varnish Shaker ...
I never knew there was such a thing.

Jolly clever these Americans.

I've got one of these aswell. Think I ordered it from wish.com.


Do note that the machine makes an awful noise, so brace yourselves for the cats will be jumpy!
