Thanks, you just saved me some time as I was just beginning to work on a design for one of those.

Don

One suggestion. I found a small stand alone rotisserie that was quite easy to modify to do exactly what you want. I did, however, have to disconnect the heating coils to insure I didn't end up with a molten mess.

Just a heads up, copper does rust. It isn't called rust, but, it is that green corrosion that copper gets on it, from oxidation.

If you want something that won't rust, get Hematite, it is "already rusted" before it is polished. Hobby Lobby carries the beads in that section of their store.

I just use one of these, cheap and I've been using it for years. www.micromark.com/cordless-mixer-for-model-paints,7616.html.  But you guys have risen this to another level, practically a hobby within a hobby!

IKEA has a battery operated milk frother for a couple of bucks. I picked one up but haven't used it yet. I modified a discarded battery toothbrush that has worked pretty well.

Well ;

    I like reading all this . I personally use the built in paint shaker on the end of my left arm . While it's lost some usefulness it is great for gripping and shaking these paint bottles . The hand completely encases the bottles ( no spin -out ) and even when done shakes slowly for some minutes , letting the paint inside calm down .

     Seriously , I do have a paint stir machine built from a discarded electric tooth brush ( Battery Powered ) and a circular one built from a mini-rotary tool I bought back in the sixties at the base hobby shop in Bremerton , Washington . Never had seen a rotary tool that small , Battery Powered and it has always worked great .1/2 speed only !

Gene ;

Did you see the new model  .You attach two bottles to either side of a MIN-PIN'S tail ( tail natural length) and offer a treat . Well shaken in about thirty seconds .
