How do ya get agitators into Vallejo\'s

[SmashedGlass]

Simple question: how do you get agitators (bb\'s, whatever) into a Vallejo bottle?????

 

[darthfoley]

Ummm...take the top off?

 

[SmashedGlass]

um, no shit....but does it just pop off or what. the bb\'s arent goin down the little pee hole.

 

[finn17]

Okeydokey..

Unscrew the top....

Using a bit of kitchen roll, or plain-nosed pliers if it is stiff.. gently pull the dropper from the bottle...

Insert non-oxidising agitator of your choice.

Re-seal bottle...

[supervike]

Whoops....I thought this was the spread good cheer thread....my bad.

 

[SmashedGlass]

[darthfoley]

Honestly, I wasn\'t being a smart-ass. If you took it that way, well...oh well.

You take the top off.

 

[SmashedGlass]

...and i thought most people could master the basics of not over eating. thanks BIG buddy, just didnt want to risk ruining a $3 bottle w/o checking first. your overwhelming mental superiority has so aided my endeavores.

 

[darthfoley]

You\'re welcome.

And please do continue the fat jokes...I really do find them amusing.

True enough.

*raises pint*

how about this...

If you can\'t keep it polite, take it elsewhere. It\'s not a question of crossing the line but rather staying well away from it.

Also from the forum rules...

****ok I admit, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I was having such fun \'cutting and pasting\' I just couldn\'t stop!!*****

See, how difficult was that.

And as I\'ve never owned a bottle of Vallejo to know how it\'s put together, I would have thought you could just unscrewed to top as well. I never thought Vallejo bottles had such complex inner mechanics to work around.

Perhaps I should have made it clear when I said \'top\' - the screw-on thing is the \'cap\', the \'top\' is the dropper. My error in not being clear, I suppose.

What substance makes a good agitator anyway? Maybe I should fish some out of my old nailpolish bottles? Opinions?

Useful agitators - bits of excess pewter, glass beads...anything that won\'t corrode, basically, which is why BB\'s are a bad idea. Reaper is actually pro-active in this regard for the Pro Paint line, as they put a little pewter skull into each bottle. Not sure if they did the same with the new Vallejo-like Master Paint series.

Gruesome severed head agitator in every bottle!

How can you not love a tag line like that??

The only thing better would be \"Gruesome severed head agitator in every bottle and a free barbarian miniature with every bottle!\"

I apologize to everyone, i was having a rude day before i posted all of that and am somewhat better now. yes, there is the confusion between \'top\' and \'cap\', i\'d already thought of it but wanted to ask first before popping the sucker apart so as not to ruin the bottle. apologese(?) again for blowing up.
