Hi all,

Looking to save some space by moving my growing collection to dropper bottles. Sounds like a quick win but my concern is that some constraint paints separate and the heavier pigment sticks to the bottom and needs a bit of shifting.

Obviously the answer seems to be give it a good mix before transferring but I wanted to check if anyone had done this and found it spoiled the paint by leaving some of the heavier pigment behind. I’m not going to bother if I have to scrape the paint out. I didn’t this with my base and layer paints and wish I’d never bothered

Glass beads - put 2 in each bottle to help when shaking/agitating to mix. They make a massive difference.

Stainless steel balls also work but there are so many cheap ones out there which are only very thinly plated and eventually the plating wears off and the metal underneath rusts and stains the paint. So glass beads work with zero risk of them rusting.

Yes, thanks, I am using glass beads
