Magnet paint mixing.

(Disclaimer: Do it at your own risk!)

How to do that?

Recently I came up with a new idea...
Always when you mix a paint you loose a lot of it on the mixing stick...
So I decided to make a mixing stick that stays in the paint...
How to?

Buy a magnet toy...

separate 2 bagnet balls and throw them into the paint.

Now to mix the paint use the rest of the magnet balls and moving it arround the cup you make the paint mix...

Be carefull however - because your paints are now magnetic - that means do not place them near a strong magnet, or something that can influence the balls inside them... it is a good idea to keep a magnet outside sticked to the paint...

If the magnet inside the cup is strong enough... you can use it to fix your paint on a piece of metal (the right type of steel) .. :)

Don't let your paint dry out...

PS.
I tried it with various acrylic paints for models.. it works with most of the paints that have a lid and glass like can / cup... or whatever there is.
