I was watching a HGTV show and one of their tips was: To save time, don't bother shaking or stirring primer. Since there is no pigment and color you can pour it directly out of the paint can. Is that true? I usually stir everything, but if I don't have to stir primer that would save me some time. |

Primer has suspended solids just like paint that tend to fall out after a while. You need to stir it all back together occasionally. Guess sometimes they hire those people for their personality more than their expertise. ::) Take a look at the directions on your primer can...mine says to stir before and during use. |

More importantly, How long are you shaking the primer that you are worried about saving that bit of time? |
