Posting this here for what it's worth :
I've been mixing my Vallejo paints in the bottle with various stick like things ...
nothing wrong with that ... some need it more than others ,, losing a little paint to waste every time tiring ..
I know about placing a piece of shot , bearing etc in there but never remember to get something suitable when I'm somewhere that has it .
I finally bought a little one of those battery mixers , you know :
... Thinking it will be small enough to insert -O into those little Vallejo bottles
and no it isn't -- Barely .
So I ground the points off the paddle :
Fits
Works . I imagine it's efficiency is wacked . but it works .
Today at the lobby of the hobby
I saw these car weights and thought " 3 bucks " OK
Pulled the cap off a Vallejo to make sure they'd go in there ...
No lead -- good . hope not .
Get home and ---
Using my unaided eyes in the lobby of the hobby , I thought they were individual weights .
. that and the conveniently printed " round weights "
more like " indexed rod "
MORE sawing ??!! ugh .
Pretty not easy to cut . not SS hard : .. why ?
and of course the first and only one I've hacked off took off into the WhereEver Zone :
now you've wasted time on this too ;D ;D ;
Eat some bread !
