What AB are you using?

Ok, with regards to paint transeffering, try mo na lang magmix sa AB container itself. Nagamit ako siphon type (yung may straw) ewan ko lang kung applicable to sa gravity fed at side feed. Ang ginagawa ko muna is to add the dominant color then drop by drop yung mixing color until it matches.

Try this technique: (enamels gamit ko nito)

1. Add thinner to the mixing pallete
2. Add the dominant color
3. Add the mixing color
4. Mix together and dilute with thinner
5. Pour EVERYTHING to the bottle

Ok, diluted sya? Wait for an hour or so until some thinner dry up. I've tried this once on my red-brown paint and it looks A-ok. Kailangan mo nga lang ng patience dito. That way, di masasayang yung paint, thinner nga lang problema mo.

Hope this helps

PS, do not return used paint unless you'll use that bottle as another color (e.g red, tapos ginawa mong red brown yung whole container.)

Here's something I learned from "Beakman's World" (or "Newton's Apple" - can't remember. Many moons ago):



As you will see, the stick forms a path for the liquid to flow on to (something to do with surface tension - forgot my physics). Thus, the liquid will not cascade on the source bottle's undersides but on the stick to the other bottle. If your hands are steady, you won't experience any spillage.

As for the paint jars, if your AB is Gunze, the Gunze paint bottles can fit on the Gunze's color bottle cap with siphon. For other ABs, there are two different sized bottles with screw caps available at National Bookstore, art section. These cost around P20 IIRC.

Another is to rig up a "quick install" paint jar by using clear film cannisters, some brass or metal tubes, solder or epoxy putty. Just make two holes on the film's cap (one small one for the air's entry, one big one which the siphon assembly will be placed). (see diagram below)



The siphon is plastic tubing which is available at most hardware stores or you can just transfer the siphon from the original jar to the homemade one. This little project I got from IPMS-Sweden I think.

Hmn, mukhang okay ito for acrylic paints.... pwede rin kaya 'to sa lacquers? Hindi ba matutunaw yung plastic? Another friend of mine suggested din yung mga empty Gerber bottles.... sino jan may baby? Penge ng Gerber....

Uy, mukang gagawa ka tonight a.... ehehehehe :-)
