Here's a movie showing the consistency I'm using. It's in quicktime format. Next time I paint (tonight maybe) I'll get some video of it going into the tray, and some rolling. The mixture is only part of it, I think as important is that the roller is applied firmly (otherwise barely any paint will come out) with very little paint on it, leaving a smooth wet surface behind.

That's a great video. Definatley helps. Do you make a batch in that jar one layer at a time or fill the jar then us it for a few layers? I'm going to have to find myself something good and air-tight to use for mixing.




I bought some mason jars for it, I use the same jar to hold the paint throughout weeks of painting. When it gets to under 1/2 full of the mixture, I add more paint and mineral spirits so that it's 75-90% full. Seems to work well.
