How long do I shake my paint for?

Paint comes in many types of pots, cans and eye dropper bottles.

You should shake paint for at least two minutes but longer is better.

When you read the back of an aerosol can it recommends at least two minutes.

If you are using pots of paint it is easier to stir the paint until it is of a nice fluid consistency.

With eyedropper bottles I personally shake for two minutes and then when I put the paint on to a paint palette, I will then stir it as well to make sure there is no lumpy paint.

I found out the other day that some manufacturers of eyedropper paint bottles recommend rolling the bottle between your hands.
