Chisels - I could quit if I wanted.

Thats what my dad used to do, then use it to stir the paint.

Mine used to sometimes blag a pair of mum's tights to strain it.

But never a chisel to stir - any fule kno that you stir it by taking one of the kitchen mixer beaters and put it in the chuck of a drill.

I've found that the drill mixer combo can put air/bubbles in the paint so It's stir by hand with a flat wooden spatula for the right size tin gets to the bottom and mixes in the good stuff at the bottom for me.
Masonry paint yes get one of the long metal jobbing and put it in your drill

Anyone here remember the idea of storing old part-used tins of paint upside down?
