Large Paint Stirrer Review from Tiger Kit Industrial

I absolutely love these paint mixer paddles from Tiger Grip. They don’t have your usual mixer head, as it’s just a steel paddle which fits into your drill. With it being flat it’s a doddle to just to scrape off the paint after you’ve finished mixing. You don’t need different brushes to get in all the nooks and crannies when cleaning it out. Plus, with them being made from stainless steel, you can rinse or wipe any lasting paint residue when you’re done.

The smaller one is ideal for little 1Litre tins as well.

My Review

I used it today for a small bit of Bonding and it ripped through it even with just my makita drill and again cleaned off nice and easy.

The best thing about using these paint mixers is they don’t splash the paint all over the place when you’re whisking it. The paint stays in the bucket, it’s brilliant!

I am a painter and decorator, so mixing paint is something I need to do every day. This mixer is a godsend for me. I did have a similar looking tool, but I had to be really careful with it. If my drill went too fast, the paint went everywhere. This large paint stirrer is a lot more straight forward. There’s a lot less mess and it mixes the paint in less time.

I would definitely Recommend!

Summary

FAQs

Why is it important to mix paint prior to application?

Paint is a liquid made of different ingredients. When left for an extended period, those ingredients start to separate. Mixing paint binds everything together again, so the paint will perform as intended.

Do I need to mix my paint with water before painting?

Mixing water-based paint with water means a better viscosity and easier application. However, the opacity of the paint is diminished, so you may need to apply an extra coat. Most trade paints come condensed, so you add water until you have the best product for the job you want to complete with it.

Do we need to mix anything in paint?

No, you don’t need to, unless you’re having trouble with your paint, or you’re painting in challenging conditions. Mixing paint conditioners with paint may mean a faster, or slower drying time, less brush marks, better adhesion, or a better flow. Check this blog on paint conditioners.

How to mix paint correctly?

Providing you mix every bit of paint, and you don’t spill it, there is no great secret to mixing paint. The Large Paint Stirrer from Tiger Kit will make things a lot quicker and easier. You don’t even need to decant paint before using it.
