Shake or stir?

I made my first SDM for non white. I was so nervous! I've never used Venice turpentine. Anyway my problem is that the stand oil and Venice are so viscous compared to the mineral spirits and I can see it has to be mixed. Sounds like a dumb question but is it okay to shake the jar? thanks in advance, Sue

Set your jar in warm water for a few minutes to make everything flow/mix a bit easier.

Shaking is probably quicker and a more effective mixing action. Lots of small air bubbles are introduced into the viscous honey like SDM but they soon settle out.

okay thank you all, yes it was the air bubbles I was fretting over
