I have to give you accolades Chris, I have watched most of your YT videos over the past few years. I went from weekend paint warrior at home to part time commercial paint contractor. I have never had anyone but you teach me. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me develop this skillset. It has paid some bills fed my family thru slow season s and was instrumental in rebuilding my credit so I could grow my athletic flooring company. It was important to me that I share that with you, all I did was try to pay attention to what your videos were highlighting, you are impacting people in a very positive way. With Gratitude, Todd Kimbrell

2nd video I watched and learned .and it’s amazing having JOHN CENA as your mentor.. lol...

Who..I cant see him? 🙈

All of them are handy tools, just don't forget to mention a few products which need precautions. Oil based PU varnishes can go bubbly or their finish flashing if they are stirred heavily. Hammerite rust on paint can be stirred only gently and manually otherwise it will become saggy. I like your videos, have learned a lot from them, keep up the good work, God bless you.

This man knows what hes talking about. Long time fan👏

Right on Brother, Love the stir whip. It's a pretty cool little gadget.

Now why didn't you or I invent that? When I started painting my teacher use to burn his pot in order to clean it maybe once a month. Thanks Chris always learn something from your videos. Blessings to you I hope that your back is feeling better.

Heavy pigmented paint separates very quickly and needs to be stirred about every hour sometimes. The whip will fit well in my small drill and will accompany me on my next project. Thanks Chris. I hadn't seen one of these yet.

Absolutely love your videos man, I have been learning so much. I appreciate the content and keep doing your thing.

Very good advice. I will be painting a truck soon and your right if you don't mix it well you will get different shades as well as other problems potentially.

G,day from Sydney Australia. Really appreciate the explanation and demonstrated tools for painting. * Like the Hyde whip, its on the shopping list. 🌏🇦🇺

Thank you for this. Awesome.

Great video and great information

5 Gallon stir sticks are also good for whacking wasps! I keep a stick by the back door, garage door, and workshop door. And as for burning your metal stir wand in your fire pit, another good reason to have a fire pit! ;)

Great tutorial as always. Thank you.

Great video. It is easy to clean the Hyde Stir Whip after the paint dried. Use heat gun on metal hex shaft and just bend the flexible yellow plastic "fingers" up and down and scrape off dried paint.

I also thought the “HYDE STIR WHIP” was garbage, when I saw it at The Home Depot! So I bought the other one, and 8 months later I saw a video about the whip on KZread. That’s when I realize how good it is, and I bought it. It is one of the best purchases I have made! It fly’s through mixing paint. And all you really need is a 12 V drill when mixing drywall mud too! Because it doesn’t drag (very aerodynamic) you don’t need the power of the 18 V drill!

If you get caught without, a food mixer works too :P did a really good mix job on my paint when I was doing some painting at night and no decent stirrer.

Love the Hyde stir whip! Bought one and will never use a stir stick again! Thanks for the suggestion Chris...I only wish that the end was notched so it can also stay attached to a quick release end, like in a impact driver.

Right on!

On the Hyde Tool, the plastic is thread on to the metal so you have to run your drill in forward or it will spin off.

You must also be careful using the metal stir..i used it to whip some sheetrock mud one time and got plastic shavings in my mud from the stir stick scraping the side of the bucket..

Great video, enjoyed watching....I like to see how much paint I can build up on my stir stick....it's ridiculous...time for the barbeque.

Love your videos. Used to paint it's been a while but looking into starting my own business. Thanks for the tips and the motivation

Great video. After watching this, I just want to stir stuff up. Don't care what....just wanna stir 😀

What type of big juice do y’all use ? Love the videos keep up the hard work man.

Always stir! I once had a set of doors to varnish in an eggshell finish. Being young and foolish I never bothered to stir it. Well one half of the doors was a matt finish and the other half gloss. Ha Ha. (I wasn't laughing at the time). Btw for the 10 and 15ltr tubs of paint you get here in the UK I like to use a 'potato masher'. Up and down movement rather than stirring , but works well.

I like that stir whip but would it pull off dried paint skin from the sides of can

I always see these cool ideas after I have painted lol.

Hey Chris is there a head for a grinder that would do what that paint eater does or is the grinder to slow?

I usually do 1 of 2 things. I put a very wet towel over the paint just like when I mess with mortar or cement. The other thing I do is I make sure my can is level and I put half a cup or so of water on top without disturbing the paint. It usually doesn't mix and it just sits on top preventing that to layer from drying. Man it's creepy to look at when it really does over. I know it's probably the wrong thing to do but I guess I've been lucky so far. I haven't had any issues.

Stir whip all the way. Makes a good "stocking stuffer" unless you like whisking eggs too.

Awesome tips thanks

I looked this up and and didn’t think I’d find you with a vid

So I opened up a can of Rust-Oleum that I had forgotten in the garage and at the bottom it was a thick layer of goop. I used a mechanical stir stick but I noticed that it was very stringy and goopy stuck to the stir stick and I'm just wondering at what point do we realize that the paint might not be any good?

Why does my 5 gallon paint have bubbles in it? And do you have tips and tricks to get them out?

Hi, I would like to ask you, how long does a big bucket of paint last? I have one that’s 11 years old. Thank you

You do not really want whisk paint, you get small bubbles of air that affect the finish of the paint on the wall. Whisking is for mousse, folding is for paint.. Air bubbles even affect finish of emulsion paint.

Does unstirred white paint look yellow on top. ? And kinda clear on top? Or is the paint bad?

Sometimes pouring the paint from one container to another keeps it stirred up as well. Blessings!

Hey Chris could you do a test on that stir whip but like in a clear container like a fish tank with water so we can see how it works. We will be able to see better how it actualy works

I use a stick beacause of simplicity. No drill to take out. No worries if my painted hands will touch the stick...

IS MIXING paint with a paddle bad? Ladies at the Home Depot paint department told me it was bad and that its better for them to mix it... i went into the store to have one bucket of 8 i bought. Pure white bher paint. I told them it looks like someone opened it used it and look like added something else in it and return it. I told them the consistency was not right and not like the other buckets I got. They said it was because I used a drill and paddle. I wanted to tell them they were smoking crack. I have never had paint go bad and lose consistency mixing with a paddle. They also said it was not possible to open the buckets without removing the plastic seal... I went to the job site and tried it on one bucket and removed the lid with a screwdriver in 15 seconds

How long can I keep paint in the original can never open before it goes bad?

Good video. But, burning the paint off the metal stick is environmentally questionable. I just have a bucket of water ready and whip the stick in there for 10 seconds and it's clean for the next run.. easy. Thanks for going to detail with all your handy hints, love that part.

Ohh what a sails job! Come on anything on the end of a drill will work just fine. I've bent op a coat hanger many times when I had an older can of paint. The wood stick works just fine when restirring paint after a lunch break and it's free. Turn your can upside down over night, 5 G buckets as well. Shake rock and roll your can before opening and your good to go in 30 seconds. Oh what was the name of that plastic do hikky stir thing? Remember save Gods planet.
