RE Shaking:Electric hand sander, small trash container. Put the sander, sanding side up, in the trash container, I put the paint can in a round oatmeal box with marbles on the bottom. Turn the sander on and put the paint in the oatmeal box on top of the sander and let it go. I start with the paint can upside down, but change it around. I needed to add a spacer to the side of the oatmeal box to keep the box and paint can upright. I can go about my other work while the sander does the shaking. I still hand shake the paint can some just to mix it up... like wiping down the side of the bowl of my mixer. Love your ideas. I learned some new things. Thank you.

If you have a sander that's a great idea! I wonder if there is a way to have a couple cans tied together so it can shake twice as many cans? Would take some figuring but just a thought
@mrsclfb96973 жыл бұрын
@@ScizGraffiti If I used paint the way you do, I would buy a couple or more sanders. Cheap ones are about $15. I happened to have had one that wouldn't hold the paper any more, but the motor worked. In your case, you could use it for two cans. I would make a small platform to set the cans on. You could velcro the cans together and I think it would work. I like to use the marbles because it keeps the can going in a circle. Also, there is probably a professional shaker that might be better for you. For me, this works well. I checked out your art on instagram. Very talented. I often see your kind of art in places that leaves me wondering, "how did they get up there???" BTW: have you heard of or seen the 34th Street Wall? It's in Gainesville, FL. Keep painting and shaking. Blessings.

I used a bath of 105 degree water instead of the sun. It didn't fully solve my problem but gave me a minute of spray time. Obtw I bought a second can of the same thing and it had the same clogging problem.

"let them bake in the sun".... Im guessing your not in perth. For me, if I leave them in my car boot or forget to move them out of the sun and into the shade while painting, the cans literally explode from the built up pressure caused by the heat. In the car boot, it just happens faster. How do I know. My car boot was a rainbow of the original ironlak formula

yeah that's too bad :( I don't know how hot it gets here but it's only around 30 degrees here on a summer day. I've never had problems with them exploding like that. Haven't heard of any problems like that either so maybe not hot enough here. I never leave paint in the truck though either

@@ScizGraffiti yer, it's crazy how much being in a different country effects paint so much. When I was painting in Holland I had to leave the cans in the car with the heater on but here in australia we end up putting them in the esky full of ice and beers to cool them down due to the built up pressure and the fact you will burn your hands if you touch the can when they are hot from the summer sun 🤣 Befor they explode, the bottom of the can pops outwards so instead of being an arch going inside the can, it becomes a bubble coming out of the can. After that, where the can fails seems to be different with each can. Some were at the bottom where the sides joins the bottom, some were the top, and some blew holes out of the side of the can.

You are insulting and illogical. Your lack of observing my experience and that of many others does not invalidate them or prove them false. You are not ignorant. A comment of "you are the only person ..." is worthless. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that I would be rich and it would disprove the assertion. There are many complaints about videos like this not addressing the issue therefore many share my same experience. In other words, you are willing to look at selective facts and data but not all of facts and data. This video method often does not work. There are many videos that agree and do a much better job of addressing the various causes of clogs in stored paint cans and offer solutions. They are easily reference-able and very good. Perhaps the time you spend insulting others is better used to become more informed. Or perhaps you might ask why you are unable to respect another person. Quoting you "I have a feeling there is something else......". In fact, the person right below this post agrees and with 40 upvotes and that is just one other data point of many.

I usually shake them plenty and then try to stick a nail into the valve and hold it down until all of the gunk clears the valve and it starts spraying again. It may do nothing for a couple of seconds but unless it's really clogged, the pressure will start to work after a little bit and it will succumb to the pressure. That works for me usually but on occasion it does damage the valve and you are left with some odd spray outputs afterwards. Not usually though
