halfwit's fantastic workbench!

I use a 'coffee frother' looks same as the Badger but with a small whisk on the end.

 

Snipped the whisk off and bent the wire 90* and ....sorted

 

Cost me a pound, in a pound shop!

Looks like some useful tack there Paul.

 

I've often thought about getting some sort of labour saving stirring device but, always been a bit put off by the thought of tins of paint taking off and splattering the shed walls or worse SWMBO's kitchen!

 

The spatula looks a good idea though I often mix Humbrol enamels to get colours I need. (The dry stone wall in one of my blog entries being one example of multiple shades of grey)

 

I use coffee stirring sticks most of the time 1000 for a fiver from Amazon.

 

Cheers!

I now use a bit of 1.0mm brass rod bent to a miniature 'coat hanger' shape, and used in an old 12v mini-drill. Seems to work well enough, provided you keep the top of the paint pot covered if whisking at high speed... (I use a bit of 40 thou plasticard with a hole in the middle for the brass stirrer).

 

I do like the 'Nuffield' style spatula for transferring paint!

BlackRat - I wish I'd thought of that! I obviously don't spend enough time in pound shops.

Frank and CK - I haven't had any serious splatter issues, yet!

 

The spatula is indeed a most usefull item, and the main reason for this blog entry as its not an obvious tool to look out for.
