Rotary tool paint mixer....
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, May 25, 2003 2:50 AM
I have finally found a way to mix paint with a dremel.
Now I know that I am not the only one who's thought of this but I have found a way it will work.
However you must do this with a dremel mini mite on low speed or a rotary tool with a compramel speed.

#1) Take a straight piece of 3" sprue(the plastic frame the part come on).

#2) Put heat to one end of the piece until it is soft.

#3)flaten out the soft plastic with a pair of pliers (or what ever is handy).

#4)Place the piece in the chuck of the tool.(you may have to adjust the collets or sand down the shaft on the piece).

#5) Last (and most important ) item.
place the mixing bit in to the paint jar or cup BEFORE you start the tool up.
If you don't do this you will be a mess.

P.S.) one more thing.
Use the lowest speed possable on your rotary tool.
(the slower the better)

I hope this works out as well for you as it did for me.

Thanks and good luck.Wink [;)]Wink [;)]Wink [;)]

I tried it, it works really well and you can reconstitute older paint with it because of the thorugh mixing job it does. Thanks for the tip James.
