I've had alot of paint jars harden up on me. I also have 1 jar of scab red for 4 years now and it's still usable. The only advice i can think off is keep the lids closed as much as possible and keep your paint in a shady place at room temp or below. (that worked for me)

would BB's for a BB gun work? I'm thinking as long as they are washed off, and just put a few in, as one wouldn't do much...

I seem to recall however someone advising against BB's at one point, so I want to know what you guys think.

I was just talking to a friend about mixing agitators the other day. I bought some Adikolor paints that have severely settled out and keep meaning to go to the hunting store to get some BB's. While coins won't fit in the dropper bottles - it would be interesting to test if a pot with no penny and a pot with penny, left for the same amount of time in the same conditions would make any difference? Anyone going to set up a controlled experiment?

If I am not mistaken I believe that ordinary BB's will rust. What you would want would be a stainless steel ball.

Cheers,

I use stainless steel nuts. First, because I have lots of them loose in my toolbox (just rinse them off of grit). Second, because they fit well and are heavy enough to agitate the paint.

Hmmm - good point - except I have been unable to source stainless ball bearings - anyone found one in a general type of store (hardware, sporting etc etc)??

The problem is you have no control over the starting conditions in the pots. Buy two pots off the shelf in GW, even if they're the same color and shelved right next to each other, one might have been there for 9 months and another unpacked last week, and even if the dates aren't off, are they from the same lot at the plant with the same ratio of water to pigment to binder?
