Great Invention for Spray cans

[floridafarmer]

Found this cool product recently when I was tired of shaking my old spray paint cans - a simple and functional solution with lots of other uses. I'm shaking everything in sight....

Use that tool or your design of a similar nature to shake-up soda cans, have some sort of a puncture mechanism (bottom of can), and see which flies highest. Kinda-like those water-pressure powered rockets

Great idea. Old saw blade and zip ties might work too.

Couple feet of PVC pipe with a nail in the bottom. Drop them in like mortars, when they bottom out on the nail they come flying right back out!

Somewhere I have an old recipe blade screwed to a stick and 2 large hose clamps. Works pretty good.

You can stick your kielbasa in there and give it a shake

Right , cause it takes so much effort to shake a paint can, if you can't shake a can how will you ever hold it and push the nozzle?

 

[rayra]

yep, solution looking for a problem.


eta - trick #1 is setting the can out in the sun first thing as you prepare for your painting project. Will shake / mix a lot easier AND you get some added pressure.

just wondering if it gets mixed better.

I know they have a trigger device that pushes the nozzle for you.

I bought one of those. Unfortunately, it was after I realized I was redneck and spray painted an aluminum row boat with 14 cans of spray. I couldn't write my name for a week, but my thumbs were fine. See

I shook a $20 can of SCAG touch up paint for 2 minutes by hand and it was still watery out of the nozzle - 30 seconds in this thing and it was much much better. Obviously these young guys like the physical work out..... I enjoy my gadgets and hydraulics...

I used to use a lot of truck bed liner in a can (it's really a strong, textured paint) 6-8 cans per cargo rack. A good shaker and the spray can "gun"sure made things go amooth!

Yea its my understanding that the spray cans literally need a minute of true shaking so they dont spit and sputter

How many people really shake a can that long

I get lazy and dont

15 seconds in this beats shaking by hand for 2 minutes.

 

[BajaScout]

Ahhh...if you set it up right, maybe you could be masking.

Our cases of Prist came with a plastic device that you clipped on the can to allow you to pull a trigger rather than pushing down on the nozzle.

It was great when you had a large jet fuel order.

i rather have a bench mounted rattler, take me too long to dig out the sawall, and then find the wrench for the blade, i need something made with an old washing machine motor

 

[evintho]

Yep......

I like my pneumatic Astro paint shaker

Same here (though I have the HF pneumatic model). Mine will easily shake two or even three rattle cans at the same time, and will get your paint to a smoother consistency than any amount of elbow damage.

Also works on natural peanut butter to integrate the oily part.

Running spray bombs under relatively hot water for a few minutes helps the paint mix and spray better, too. DO NOT USE A TORCH OR HEAT GUN.

[ed_v]

Yep......

looks like it would take more effort to clamp the can in than to just shake the can.

 

[Higgins]

touche!

Love it, and it doesn't cost me a dime for another NEW tool around the garage!!!

I guess the question that needs to be asked: Could you write your name before?

 

[Bighead38]

What movie is that from?

 

[theamcguy]

After reading this thread I ordered one. Has to be better than me shaking the can.

One of the 'The Naked Gun' movies. Don't remember which one.
