Shaking bottled paints

Hey everyone,

Is it safe to shake Testors enamel bottled paints? I think I read somewhere that you are not supposed shake Tamiya acrylic bottled paints.

I usually shake the Testors bottle vigorously to mix it up, is it safe to do that? Should I stir it instead? But since the pigments are settled to the bottom of the bottle, I don't even know if stirring is enough to evenly mix it.

Also, how do you guys prevent the paint from drying up at the tip of the bottle? Every time I open the cap, after struggling with it for 2 minutes, dried paint particles would fall down.

Thank you for your help
