I agree Phil, esp. if the can is left undisturbed for months/years. Invariably the tinter settles to the bottom in a thin layer and must be scraped off and lifted up somehow. It can't be done in a few minutes with a stirring stick, and most people lack the required patience. I remember old timers storing paint tins upside down, which eliminates skin formation and also enables tinter to be easily and thoroughly brushed off the lid and back into the can for mixing.
