Anyone use the Badger Paint mixer (http://www.amazon.com/Badger-Air-Brush-Co-121-Paint/dp/B000BROV02) or any hand held pain mixer at all?

I am asking for 2 reasons

1 Does it fit in the Createx Bottles?
2 i have been mixing customer colors for a while not and the shake method can use an improvement.

Thanks in advance.

stainless steel 1/4-20 nuts in each bottle, maybe 2 or 3 will remedy that.

I have used those and some small belly.weights but seems like i am just not getting a good Mix/blend esp if a color is thick.

I generally shake my bottles and have added ball bearings and nuts, but if you get tired of shaking, you can make an easy paint mixer out of a old hand held jig saw. Just fashion a bottle holder out of a sawzall blade or other small strip of metal (just put a right angle at the bottom and some type of strap to hold bottle - a velcro cable tie works well). Make a quick bracket out of wood and large U-bolts and attach it to the wall.
