Aerosol paint can shaker

Maybe you could make one.

one is made from the gear head of an old 4" angle grinder and some linkage to make it oscillate. Works in drill press on slow speed............gary

If you reload cartridges try putting them in a vibrating case tumbler two or three at a time, (leave the media in). If you don't, and really need the thing they're about $50.00 IIRC. MadDog.

Thanks Gary and MadDog, both are good ideas.

I just made this one for $0 & 10 minutes of my time:

Lash it to a saber saw?

Wrap some duct tape around the can to tie it to the axle or control arm of your car or truck and drive down a choppy road.

Just hold the can base against the rubber pad of an orbital sander for about

30 sec.

According to Tinker :

You've gotten several good suggestions.

I'll simply point out that you should avoid this with aluminum paint. Something about the tiny aluminum flakes in the paint plus the binder, plus the shaking can lead to an explosion. I've talked to someone who put a can of aluminum paint in one of the hardware store paint shakers and it painted the whole area when the can let go.

Or -- you might *want* to try it -- outdoors, with a long extension cord and the saber saw type of shaker suggested. Put it far enough away from the house so you would not paint the house. Switch at the house end of the extension cord -- and if you switch it off before it goes off, wait perhaps a half hour before going close, just in case. :-)

Enjoy, DoN.
