I wish I could say I came up with this idea, but I can at least share it.
I've been painting a 1/35 figure in a U.S uniform and struggling to refresh some settled paint shades that have been sitting on the shelf for at least 2 years. Pop the top off the bottle, insert agitator, stir, cap, shake, test, shake more, test, clean invariable drips and repeat for another 5 colours you plan on using that night.
After 35 minutes of getting paint ready to go last night I started to look into paint mixers.
God bless this guy whoever he is.
I didn't have a CR bag (even though it's made 30 minutes from here) so I tried this out.
Orbital sander and dollar store dish rag.
Vallejo paint sitting unmoved since about 2012
30 seconds later following the video technique. No damage to the sander, bottle or rag. Mixed beautifully with no effort and no mess.
Even if you don't have an orbital sander, they're less then $20 and better built then any commercial hobby mixer.
Enjoy.
