i tryed the agitator, but it seems that paint coagules more easily around the iron bit, forming a ball with consistence of mud...
i hope it was only my bottle of paint
did you use it extensively?

yes, every of my bottles has one or two bits of metal in it, and I didn't have any problems with this technique.

That's something like what I do. But you reminded me that I need to add these agitators to some of my paints...

I've used non-lead fishing weights in my VMC paints for years... I've noticed some contamination in one of the varnish bottles recently, though so I poured most of it into a clean, empty VMC bottle and dumped the left over contaminated varnish left behind before washing out the varnish bottle.
A safer alternative to metal would be little stone beads, but they are fairly expensive when you have to buy over 200 of them! :0
