Love that mixer

[@chrisparenti2461]

I bought the gaahleri pistol grip air brush on your recommendation and I absolutely love it! It has the right feel and grip for my hand. The fit and finish of this airbrush is top notch. Thank you for all your reviews, they are spot on 👍🏻. And please let us know how your wife is doing, we all care about you and your family 😊

[@kennethguthrie3771]

Nice looking paint mixer

[@TheCombatartist]

My FAVORITE reviews!

[@Avalanche523]

Great video with a wide range of interesting products. Getting hard to keep up with you. 😎

[@AmateurScaleModelBuildi-lj3so]

The paint mixer is awesome. I like the idea of letting it mix slow while you work on a project

[@lylebriggs923]

Thanks for your time you put into your videos you do for us 👍🏻👍🏻I always appreciate them

[@michaelcooke2559]

The paint rack is great. All of the ones I see have holes cut in them. Thanks for sharing.

[@patrickwells8302]

I really like those silicone pallets

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

i've been loving hobby mio stuff lately. looking forward for that video!!

[@blodhemn413]

I love these Tips and Tools videos. Can't wait for the Hobby Mio installment.

[@antithesisjones765]

Who would believe I’m sitting here on a Sunday night watching ink dry and loving it! Great demos, the silicon paint pallet is sublimely genius. 👍

[@flojoairflojoair3369]

i use pushpop toy that my kid use to play with (grown out of it) if you get them new they are dirty cheap compared to the silicone pallets

[@ada42klm]

Outstanding video as always. Thank you so much for demonstrating the different material. The paint mixer was a hit. I hope your wife is continuing improving.

[@TheDuke07]

Another great indepth video that gave me some great ideas

[@geoffhipwell2198]

Thanks for all the 'tests' for us. Those 'Paint Markers' look fantastic. You're right, Markers have come a long way. 👍 🦘

[@davisgailitis]

Thanks for another Tools & Tips vid 🤙 I wanted to thank you as I have prob at this point purchased about 6 or 7 items from watching all of these segment vids plus a few others of yours. Kudo's to all of the time and effort you put into your channel

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you Davis

[@xJoshyBear]

That vortex mixer looking slick as hell. Gonna need to get myself one

[@MrDavidfball]

got one of those mixers coming from japan and being delivered friday, been using the 4 E's but it takes up lots of space in my hobby area so its going to get plenty of use soon as it lands.

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

I’m digging the markers and the mixer came in Friday can’t wait to try it thanks Robert

[@aroncheek5092]

Turbo dork actually redesigned the sensory toy as a pallete 😊bigger dishes will allow us to use more paint at one time. The issue with using the sensory toy is the bowl only allows you to use a few drops of paint

[@georgecox461]

Once again great stuff

[@joegkushner]

Something that works similiar to the Turbo Dork is pop it fidget devices. I picked up a set. My g/f immediately stole one for actual fidgeting purposes and I use the other one for paint.

[@fabonline9389]

I've been looking for something to paint chrome trim on models and the markers look like they would work well. Definitely getting some of those silicone palettes. Thanks for these videos.

[@decadentdave]

The 4E’s paint mixer is hands down the best on the market. $100 and worth every penny.

[@Geek-a-Zoid]

Thank you for the information!

[@geoffhipwell2198]

Can't wait for the 'newer' Paint Tests!!

[@thehazmatguy480]

Robert, you mentioned the 4e mixer - that's the one I bought on your recommendation. The 4e is a great little mixer! However, it would be really nice to set a paint in the clamp and let it mix while doing something else. Nice!

[@littsrc1726]

Love that mixer have to get one 👍👍👍

[@WoodysScaleModelGarage]

Going to have to get one of those mixers

[@ethancoatney727]

Love the paint rack that doesn't limit you to a brand/style of bottle. Now, if they could just do something with the wasted negative space in the corner.

[@madthinker6465]

Awesome video

[@chauffeurmarco]

I’m not a pen guy but I got to admit, that is nice ones

[@ROCKYALL117]

For the silicone paint pallet instead just go to the dollar store and get one of those bubble fidget toys they are basically the same but a little smaller but you get A LOT more uses out of one before you need to pop them.

[@ED_BOI]

Hey Robert! Great video! I noticed you had that big mr color silver jar. I was wondering where you had found one like that since i’ve never seen them before.

[@barbatosrex9473]

That popped up at a few sites. I got mine at Galactic Toys

[@NeoPest]

i was bummed when i clicked the mixer link and saw they sold out but was able to find one brand new one for 67 bucks shipped!!

[@nelsonolivierjr3994]

I haven't use markers in a long time cause they had those fat tips and then they had hair pieces that stick to the tip while your painting it. These do look good I might try a set out.

[@FTWBIFY6667]

If you come across a shaker for 16oz bottles I would love to see the reviews on it! I have tons of createx 16oz bottles and absolutely kills my wrists to shake them.

[@rickgregory9616]

That little paint mixer is a game changer. Good to have when you're using metalic or pre-thinned paint, place it in the mixer at low speed. Your review must have been a hit - the website says their out of stock!

[@DickFitzwell0917]

ebay

[@darthhall6187]

Another great video, full of useful and practical products. I'm gonna grab some of the markers for sure. The Turbo Dork mixing trays look neat, but are kinda pricey. I've been using silicon jewellery resin molds and sweet making molds for years. They do the same thing and are way cheaper from Amazon.

[@davidm6256]

I made my own paint rack out of cardboard. Through trial and error I noticed if you don't have a front rail and you grab a paint you can knock over the one in front and the domino effect begins

[@witeshade]

Would those acrylic paint markers be good for painting the little figures that come with some 1/35 tank kits?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes, just be sure to cover them with a matt clear coat. I just did a video on the best flat clear spray

[@witeshade]

@@barbatosrex9473 interesting. I have about a dozen figures from various models that I haven't painted yet because I didn't feel confident enough in my painting skills to try. Would using a white base coat sprayed for zenithal highlighting work with those paints or do they go on fairly opaque?

[@barbatosrex9473]

@@witeshade a white base or primer is highly recommend

[@marcelfab7551]

I better confirm my RobotKai order before everything goes out of stock!

[@danhrivnak9719]

Have you done a review on powered mini drills? Anything from a #80 drill bit .34mm on up? If so can you let me know which video.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I did review one by Micro Mark

[@danhrivnak9719]

@@barbatosrex9473 thanks! I will look for it.

[@henry-tiopsans]

Yo man i've watch your videos for over a year now and i love them,however can you try straining paint? I just did it today by cutting bottles in halves,put fine paper tissues on top and strain my no branded chrome paint,the results aren't massive,the strained chrome paint doesn't have as much metal flakes thus making the paint look less metallic and slight more darker like chrome,im asking you this because im wondering if you can test it out on random paint?

[@garypic4083]

Tamiya use to have colored pens back in the 80s, you ever use them?

[@barbatosrex9473]

They were awesome. I was so upset when they discontinued them

[@jimhantsch]

Where are you getting the big jars of Mr. Color?

[@dalemettee1147]

As I've already said, I'm just getting into this hobby and I'm tap into your vast knowledge. Have you ever used hypodermic needles to apply glue. I've used 1cc ones like the size used by diabetics. I used to work for B/D and I could get like 500 ea. for $15.00. Hell of a discount. I'd get them for my neighbor's son Bryan. Any how, as a retired senior, i don't get the employee offer any more.

[@barbatosrex9473]

What's your favorite glue to use in them

[@dalemettee1147]

@@barbatosrex9473 I used to build model railroad HO's. The structures were assembled with liquid glue ( I can't remember). But could they be used with today's glues?

[@vinnygallino5217]

I went to go buy the paint mixer and they're out of stock but if you do a search online they're about $30 to $40 less then that toy store and instock

[@lylebriggs923]

I wonder how the dry pallets would work with glue

[@barbatosrex9473]

Same as the paint. Pops right off when it's dried

[@michaeltana4706]

Heya Rex big fan here ,just wondering what are your thoughts on the waterfall spray booth from RobotKai (latest one)sorry totally unrelated to your video rn but just being frustrated with my current spray booth:( knowing you tested the product 6 months ago thanks and appreciate your kindness sharing your knowledge

[@barbatosrex9473]

I like both of my waterfall spray booths. The latest model in particular is great. They are very hard to come by for some reason but I'll contact Robot Kai and see when they will be in stock

[@richardrussell7082]

Many 'regulation makers' in Europe have ruled that all mobile devices must use one standardised charging cable type (USB-C) to eliminate the cash-grab monopoly of proprietary cables. The majority of brands are like "Yeah, okay, no problem"; meanwhile Apple are spitting feathers, and throwing their toys out of the pram 🤣

[@randomnickify]

It was more about using one single charger for every device. Few years back EU parliament has warned everybody "Standardize or Else". Everybody willingly switched to USB-C except the Apple, so now it's a EU law they have to follow. :)

[@gregorysmith9706]

Yeah, the proprietary cash grab by companies like Apple. 😂 I don't do Apple products for this exact reason. Funny, that many years ago, Apple was whining about Microsoft trying to monopolize their market, and here we are, Apple trying to monopolize the market. 😂
