createx shelf life

I have a bunch that had sat for a year or more and all the pigment settled to bottom. I shook it well, stirred it up. Still on the thick side can thin with water a little. Was tough on the air brush getting this stuff to spray right. Any recommendations to make it usable

1. take a clean small glass jar, cover it with a nylon or tea strainer and pour out the paint onto the screening.
2. when strained, take liquitex, alittle water and alttle windex and pour into the strained paint till shes good and loose again.
3. clean out old paint bottle and pour your new mix back into it.

good to go.

throw a few # 10 stainless nuts in each bottle. Makes shaken them up, mixing, much easier. Especially pearl paints. Every once in a while when you are not using them go and give them all a quick shake. Only takes a few minutes, although I never remember to.

just make sure they won't corrode being in there a long time. You don't want that stuff in your paint. I have had issues with that before and bb's are kind of too small and get stuck in the muck at the bottom lots of times and are a bitch to free up.

Do not use BB's. They will corrode. Small glass marbles work as will the afore mentioned stainless nut.
