| You don't have to shake primer? |

| TOK:
They also save time by having someone do 99% of the project, then they turn a screw. ;D I always shake primers. I learned the hard way not to get involved with any type of painting when I'm in a hurry. I tried to put on a second coat in a hurry while the first was tacky, and it ended up making me sand and start over from the roller marks in the lower coat. |

| Turnarcades:
All kinds of solvents, paints, sprays, treatments etc. should be stirred or shaken toredistribute the contents evenly. Particles of all kinds settle so for even consistency should be properly mixed back in. |
| Droler:
Stir or shake, or do like I do, put the can upside down for a day or two before you use it when possible, but not agitating it in some fashion or other is bull****, and probably made the show as some sort of misguided "interesting statement." This is especially true for darker primer (the dark gray or other colors for darker paint topcoats). Here's an idea to save time - don't waste it watching DIY or HGTV! ;) |

If the can says stir, or shake then do it, dont listen to the so called experts on t.v. :soapbox: |
