Agitator BB's?

Post by Grantholomeu » Fri Jan 24, 2020 2:09 pm

I just got the full range of Scale75 paints :D :D :D :D :D :D and I've read that they separate easily and require a lot of shaking to be loved properly. Does anyone know where I can snag some stainless steel or glass BB's around here? I found a couple places online, but shipping was going to be more than my order so ya know... :cry:

I think most of the bigger model supply stores will have them - Tamiya makes a range for their paints, IIRC.

I think Yodobashi in Sakae also has agitator beads next to the mig paint rack too? But I could be totally misremembering that.
Feel free to call me Dave!

Am I the only person who read Agitators as a new Primaris unit? :lol:

This is what I use.
You might be able to find it at Yodobashi or Super Kids Land in Osu too.

@Prim- make that two :D
I just use regular old ball bearings from the hardware store. Seem to do the job. I should dig one out and check to see if it rusting or not.

Thanks everyone!

@Karantu I found exactly those ones at Joshin today.
