I stir mine first, then shake. If manually I add a few BBs. I've not tried the jigsaw thing, just read it in the rag and thought it sounded pretty easy.
Once I've shaken mine I remove the lid, turn it upside down and use whatever is on it first. I cover the bottle with a black plastic lid from a 35mm film container, fits great. I don't own an airbrush so bottles and spray cans are what I use.
Up until now, well, maybe.
I suppose I could attach one to the leg of my female MinPin and let her out for some feline company - nah, I'd never get the paint back.
Speaking of fine mesh, where would on be likely find this in say a 6"x6" piece, or thereabouts? I need some for a ship model and the places I've gone to and asked have no idea who carries it in large pieces.
go to a tranny shop and ask for some old auto tranny filters. clean it up and off ya go.
I think plain old toothpicks work great for stirring. They are readily available, cheap, and best of all, require no clean up. You just throw 'em away.

Shit, and I started life as a mechanic but this never entered my old gourd. Great idea, thanks!
i think i'll do a shoestring modeler site for us po' folks.
I ususally take about 3 toothpicks bunch them together, open the bottle of paint and stir......

My way, easy, and very cheap : in each bottle, I put two small balls of movement with ball, in advance very well washed and streamlined.
I use a stirrer I made approx. 10 years ago from a coat hanger. Stir, stir, stir, wipe, put back in the tool caddy dealy.
