Default painting with a garden sprayer

Come to think of it, every time I've painted from a can, it has been too

I ladle it into a plastic tub, it may be a little thicker at the bottom,
but it's not so bad.

If I mixed it really well, with a power stirrer in a bowl-shaped
container, I wonder how long the pigment would stay evenly distributed.


I'd expect you would need to mix within the original
can, as the heavier pigment would settle to the bottom
of the original can. If you pour some into a bowl,
it will be the solvent, and less pigment.

It will start settlling immediately.
