    Default quick way to mix old paints

    i just thought of this now. i was looking at some old model paint in the tiny jars thinking i might try painting some piece of a computer. so i tried mixing the seperated paint and it took forever and didn't full mix. thinking some more i decided i need some kind of paint mixer and then it hit me. i grabbed a little jar of paint some tape and my handy dandy saws-all (reciprocating saw) and taped the paint to a 6" blade. i shook it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and it worked great. you should try to mix it first though so it mixes better rather then sticking to the sides.

    Blades for thoes machines are meant to go full speed while having pressure applied to them. No damage should arise from mixing paint at full speed.

    Gaz, do you really have that speaker system (in your sig), or are you trying pull a fast one one us?

    yes but thats with the blade only, not with a glass jar taped to the side. so it starts to shake. here is a picture of how i set it up. i problaly should have posted this before... ohwell.
