Scale75 paints are good quality but need some serious shaking. Really alot. They tend to seperate during storage.

I first used “stainless steel” ball bearings, but they rusted quickly in all acrylic paint brands I own except reaper. Horrible lumpy brown stains in all the pots…

Instead I have used 6mm and 8mm haematite beads these last few years. They are heavier than glass and do not rust or corrode. and can be gotten cheaply in bulk off ebay or crafts stores. For scale 75 I would suggest the 8mm as you will need someting with a bit of weight to stir things up. Also you will need to pierce the funnels on the scale75 dropper bottles, I drill them out with a 1mm bit and later use a paperclip to keep them open.
