You don't have to shake primer?
leapinlew:
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.

Sounds like total BS to me. 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?

It all adds up... Whenever I can find a way to save some time while still getting the same results - I love it.

I think the best way for me to save time is to stop checking boards like this so often.
