cooking plastic

Would love to stir it, but the gallon bottle isn't made for stirring; I would need to cut the upper half off. I will switch as soon as I get the opportunity to. I guess I should listen to the old lady and store my stuff in the house.

Take a metal clothes hanger or other piece of wire and use it to fashion a stirrer out of.  then go through the small pour hole you now have and you will be able to stir everything off the bottom and get it stirred up enough to start shaking it all together to blend it.  I do it all the time with my gallon jugs and a wooden dowel rod although they say not to use wood as it introduces bubbles....which I haven't had too much problem with for some reason..??

Wood only will introduce bubbles if you use it in cooked or heated plastic. It is OK for raw plastisol.

I treated the problem like it was colorant, I added some nuts and bolts to the jug. It still requires shaking, it's not the best solution, but it's a solution.
