Painter1 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I mostly use MF Super Soft, which requires shaking or mixing. But I don't use the material very quickly and am not able to properly shake a 5 gallon container. A standard mixing paddle from the paint store (barely) won't fit into the opening of the container. I cut the ring on the bottom of the mixing paddle, in 2 places, with a hacksaw and bent it in to reduce the diameter slightly. That worked to get the paddle in and out of the container. After mixing well with a drill and a lot of vertical action, the spout goes in and the material is transferred to quart containers that are easy to shake by hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 maybe ask for 1 gal.containers at the 5 gal price.....you should just get a gal at a time unless your getting a big discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
