Last week I added Floetrol to a pail of primer before spraying with it.
All I saw as I poured it from the jug was clear liquid.
Today as I started to pour Floetrol from the same jug into the topcoat I
saw some white streaks in it. I replaced the cap and shook it and found
that the Floetrol was now a milky color. I have read the instructions on
the jug carefully and have found no indication that it needs to be
shaken or stirred before using. I no more thought of shaking it the
first time than I would have thought of shaking mineral spirits or
lacquer thinner before adding them to the appropriate finish.
What is the possible effect of the unshaken Floetrol I added to the primer?

Do you know of _any_ coating product that isn't stirred before using???
As for the effect, you simply got some of the carrier w/o much of the
ingredients; it'll have no effect.
Floetrol is, of course, recommended at absolute bare minimum (and is
rarely actually _required_) by ever paint manufacturer I'm aware of.
Paint's much like motor oil--if it needed additional additives, they
would have put them in the paint to begin with.

You know, I am sixty years old, and I have always shaken milk before
pouring. I know it is all homogenized and all that stuff, but it makes me
just feel better to do this.
I know that shaking varnishes and clear stuff makes bubbles. But for most
everything else, I shake.
Except Dr. Pepper, that is.
