The Army Painter, Mixing Balls, 100 x 5.5mm Stainless Steel Balls for Paint

I was looking for away to prolong the life of my paints, I currently use citadel paints and certain paints have a number of issues. Some friends of mine use glass beads but I was worried they lacked the weight to break up the paints specially when they started to clump together, didn't matter how much medium I added and shaking didn't work. So it was give these a go or spend several times more on a nail polisher shaker. I added three to the paint and a tad more medium with some energetic shaking the paint has smoothed out greatly. I've added them to a number of paints that tended to separate at a whim and these have made them need to less shaking time to mix back together. Also can confirm they don’t rust, when they first arrived I add a few to an old paint pot with just water for a few days and the water never discoloured. Currently using them in a shade of white and had no issues. I plan on moving my citadel paints to dropper bottles but for the price, I see these are a worth while investment.

These are doing the job for me. Add one or two to pot of Citadel paint and reap the benefits of a good mix! These are sold as stainless steel and I believe it. So, no rusting to ruin paints. Very good. They’re a bit expensive, but they work for me.

BALLS BALLS BALL!!! Goodness gracious, great BALLS of fire! (well not fire, actually long lasting anti corrosion balls). I have been using these years. Recently i moved a lot of my pots of paint into new pots, and decided to get a new set of mixing balls to replace the old ones. Well the old ones (some over 10 years old) are almost as good as new, and I could have easily reused them!

They are good and do the job, use these with my citadel paints that i've not touched for a year or so and it does help revive them and mix efficiently - in my honest opinion it's a bit pricey of a product for what it is, but it works so can't complain.

I bought this item to add to my paint collection to aid in mixing the paint to ensure I get a consistent colour and consistency each time I use them. Their size is between the 5.2mm and 6.2mm mixing balls GSW sell (I compared the three) and I have found the AP balls to be large and dense enough to mix paints from the Citadel and Vallejo Model Colour ranges - both thick and viscous paint-lines. I have also used them with the Warcolours One-Coat line, which are not viscous, but do separate like crazy. I’m sure they would be perfect for any type of contrast paint as well. One ball per pot/bottle seemed to be sufficient for the majority of the paints in my collection; however, Corax White needed three; though it’s effectively a Gesso so that is not really surprising. These are not magnetic - I tested them. That means they have very little unbound ferrous content and therefore should be very resistant to corrosion. I thought they were good value for money and would recommend them to miniature painters.

Fantastic good weight

Not too much to say as they get the intended job of mixing the paint done well.

very good

excelente producto

Sample tested 5 SS balls from the pack by placing it in salt solution for 8 to 10 days. Removed and inspected the SS balls and found it 100% rust-free. Now, i could use them as paint agitators in my vallejo paint bottles without fear of it developing rust in the paint bottles.

Als jemand, der gerne mit Acrylfarben arbeitet, war ich auf der Suche nach einer effizienten Methode, um meine Farben besser zu mischen. Die Stahlkugeln haben sich als großartige Lösung erwiesen! Die Kugeln sind von hoher Qualität und erfüllen ihren Zweck hervorragend. Sie sind aus strapazierfähigem Stahl gefertigt und haben die perfekte Größe, um in die Farben zu passen. Nachdem ich sie in die Farbe gegeben habe, reichen ein paar schnelle Schüttelbewegungen, um die Farben gründlich zu mischen. Ich habe nach günstigeren Optionen gesucht, aber keine gefunden, die von vergleichbarer Qualität waren, es sei denn, ich hätte gleich 1000 Kugeln kaufen müssen. Insgesamt bin ich mit den Stahlkugeln als Mischhilfe für meine Farben äußerst zufrieden. Sie sind effektiv, von hoher Qualität und preislich attraktiv. Ich empfehle sie jedem, der nach einer praktischen Methode sucht, um Farben gründlich zu mischen, ohne gleich eine große Menge kaufen zu müssen.

Que dire ? Ce sont des billes en métal, utilisée pour mettre dans des pots de peinture pour figurine. jusque là elles ne se sont pas détériorés.

Prodotto molto utile per avere un colore sempre diluito e una pittura migliore. Anche il prezzo è ottimo per 100 mixing ball. Army painter è un marchio sempre più di qualità!
