I have found that swirling the can for two minutes is better than shaking it
for two minutes.
Hold a new can at a downward angle and swirl it around in a small circle
couple minutes in each direction gets the sludge off the bottom where it has
settled then shake it a couple more minutes. Yes, makes your arm tired. You
could take a break for a cold one but then you would have to shake the can
again.
