My Tying Station and Paint Mixer

I have to share my jig tying space with electronics. ha

I had an accident with some powder paint when hand steering and shaking some paint. What a mess to clean up. Most folks know I have nephropathy and can't feel much in my hands. I dropped an open container. I didn't want to fool with the air type fluid system,so I just got this vibrating table and velcrowed a 2 inch PVC cap to the vibrating platform. The pee specimen cups fit snugly in the cap on the platform. I am less likely to mess up with this arrangement and I don't have a lot of pvc tubing to trip over. To operate, I just open and close the pee cups when in the PVC holder.

This vibrating platform method works about as well as any air drives that I viewed on U tube. I can vary the speed of vibration. I could add multiple cups, but I ain't. I am slooow.

Well it wants me to sign in to Google and I don't have one, lol! Anyway if you have a good way then use it! However I am not sure if your method fluffs it enough to make it deeper like the air flow does so your way may need more paint, but that should be just fine I would think.

Try the link again. It is supposed to be a "shared" album. Should be able to click and play the video. Follow the hand. ha

I like that. Does it work well with all color

It makes volcanos on all colors. Vibrating tables will bubble water. Jewelers also use the vibrating tables. They call it "sonic" cleaning. Vibration is up and down and "fluffs" stuff.

Refresh memory edit.

Fluffs all 7 colors I have that were given to me by the Black Bass Fellow.

I'd really like to see what you came up with.

I had the same trouble, but today I just got new ISP and off satellite and as soon as I tried it after the change I could see it fine! Nice idea Cane Pole!

I just started using Google Photo. So, I am probably screwing something up, Tired of dealing with photo bucket. Sometimes days to upload a video to photo bucket and the nag you with commercials and upgrades too much.

Try this link.

I am supposed to be inheriting one. And yes they are supposed to work well with that Red,Black and White we have so much trouble with in the fluid cups.

At a junk sale.

You can make one from a vibrating sander. Mount the sander upside down and velcro the 2 inch PVC flat type end cap You could control speed via light dimmer or a fan speed control. Same principal.

I think this came out of a Dr office.

I thought I had a new invention here. ha

They are dental vibrators.

All you need to do to get the other colors working well just add in some clear 200% gloss from Rosey's! Get a pound and use it in almost all your colors, but wouldn't add to Chrome or maybe even Black, but most colors take it well! Also will make your color fluff so much better!

Nice! At least now I know they are accessible.
I had a fluid bed. Actually 2. Gave them away. I think they're good for guys wanting to paint quick or in bulk, but I spend more time tapping on paint with a brush b/c they're just for me.
But this seems far more logical and less one consuming.
Thx for sharing it Mr Tom.

This machine does good on all the colors you sent me. I never thought I would be back in the painting business again. ha


Like I stated, you can rig up a sander and do the same thing. I use my orbiter on aluminum paint to stir those aluminum pieces floating around in the paint. This is where I got the idea.

Like, nice idea Cane Pole!

I rechecked red, white, and black paint I have. Seems to mix well, just like the pink. I am new at this, so I don't really understand the problem with air mixers.
Inform me, so to let me look and see if I am having the issue.

Tom, the Red, Black and White are a really heavy powder or denser, something. In a fluid bed they are really hard to get to flow and stay flowing. I can get them to lift but then just drop. I have tried all kinds of mixes with clear but still not very effective. I can see where the vibrator would be a great solution for that problem.

Some guys mix in as much as 50/50 with clear, but I never go that far, but seems almost all colors (minus Chrome and maybe one other) can be made to flow very well with some clear in it.

I just tried those colors out. They look fine. Lots better than when I had stir the paint with a 12ga wire (and I really whip irt up). I am experimenting with Skip's jigheads. If one bobos, I will return to sender.

I don't know what to look for. I am a beginner.

As he is teaching us, he doesn't know what to look for.

You're doing one heck of a job Tom. That's a great idea, and works better than the fluid bed I have. I will send you any of the paint i have, being as you sent me a lot of it. What colors do you want? I have some stuff to send your way anyways.

Nothing to say about the paint mixer, but that clean of a work station has me worried about Cane Pole. LOL
