About product

Mr.Paint Glass Mixing Balls, glass mixing balls (about 40 pieces)

A pack of roughly 40 glass mixing balls from Mr.Paint. It is not a paint and not a kit; it is a simple but very useful modeling accessory. The balls are dropped straight into a bottle of paint and move freely in it when it is shaken: they stir up the contents, break up the deposit at the bottom and mix the pigment back into the binder. You will never mix a bottle that thoroughly by hand alone.

Why glass and not metal

The material of the balls is what decides here. Glass is chemically inert: it reacts neither with the paint nor rusts. Metal balls can gradually corrode in paint (above all in water-thinnable acrylics) and rusty particles then ruin the paint irreversibly or discolor it. A glass ball left for months in a bottle will still be a glass ball. That is why glass is considered the safe choice with modeling paints.

Use

  • Drop a few balls into a bottle of paint; two or three are usually enough, more in larger bottles.
  • Before every use, shake the paint thoroughly until you hear the balls rattling freely and the paint has a uniform color and thickness.
  • Essential with metallics and heavily pigmented paints, where the pigment settles to the bottom and unmixed paint then sprays unevenly or has a weak metallic effect.
  • Worth using with washes, filters and paints that have stood for a long time as well, where a deposit at the bottom is the rule.
  • The balls can also be used in a mixing cup when a modeler mixes a shade to measure.

Who they are for

For everyone who paints or sprays from bottles, from builders of plastic models to painters of figures. One pack is enough for a large part of the paints in a workshop and unmixed paint stops being a problem.

Safety: contains small parts, with a risk of swallowing and inhalation. Keep out of reach of children. The balls are glass and there is a risk of cuts from shards if they break. When handling paints, take care over ventilation and skin protection according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.

FAQ

Glass is chemically inert: it reacts neither with the paint nor rusts. Metal balls can corrode in paint over time, above all in water-thinnable acrylics, and rusty particles then ruin the paint. A glass ball in a bottle spoils nothing even after a long time.

Two or three are usually enough, and you can add more in larger bottles. The aim is for the balls to move freely in the bottle and to break up the deposit at the bottom when it is shaken. A pack of roughly 40 pieces therefore covers a great many paints.

With metallics and heavily pigmented paints, whose pigment settles to the bottom fastest. An unmixed metallic sprays unevenly and the metallic effect is weak. They are useful with washes, filters and paints that have stood for a while too.

No. It is purely an accessory: glass balls that are dropped into a bottle of paint and help to mix it. They contain no chemicals and no pigment.
