I bought a five gallon bucket of paint but was in a hurry and forgot to have the dealer shake it. I didn’t have a mixing paddle with me, and I didn’t want to spend half an hour trying to mix it with a stick, so I started looking around for an alternative. I found an old paint roller frame, broke off the plastic handle and chucked it in my drill. The wires inside the roller acted like a chef’s whisk and it worked perfectly. Go slow, though. The roller isn’t balanced like your mixing paddle.
