What does everybody use for mixing paint? I can't get the actual pigment to stay mixed up in the jar. I mix it with a cut piece of sprue and usually before I'm even close to done it seperates on me again. Any ideas would be great

I use a cordless paint mixer from Micromark.com. It will mix a jar of paint fast and throughly. I highly recommend it.

I use the same--it is great!

I tried Badgers--works OK but the button is not well placed, it is more cumbersome to use.
