HOW DOES THE LID/STIR WORK?
|
|
|
Unlike most conventional stirrers, the Lid/Stir 's patented mixing method mixes in three separate motions:
- The Lid/Stir creates a vortex in the can.
- Its unique paddles force the paint from the bottom of the can to the top, then down into the center of the vortex.
- Fourteen specially positioned holes simutaneously shear the wave through the paddles.
See the mixing video to get a clear understanding of how the Lid/Stir mixes!
