Stirring It Up

[superharmonix]

Hey all-

I thought I'd start a new thread with a little different topic- what is your favorite stirring tool?  Personally, I use aluminum BBQ skewers!  I know Jason likes to use an icing knife.  How about the rest of ya?

Screw driver. Long handle. But I'm a mechanic

That's funny because I use a 3/8 drive extension  for a ratchet.

That's awesome.  I'm sure Frank will chime in but I seem to remember he told me once he uses welding rods.  Other than making baits I am a guitar player, so I can't really use a tool from my trade to stir hot plastic.  Guitar strings would be a bit floppy.

Glass rods for stirring chemicals

Well, you could pull a truss rod out of an old guitar neck.  Might be a bit of a clumsy stirring instrument tho.  I know it's OT, but what kind of music do you play and what's your most awesome guitar?   

I use a couple of spoons for stirring  at the moment.  I've used bamboo kabab skewers and those work well, they just got put in storage while cleaning up the house.  Welding rods should work well, may have to grab a couple and give it a try.

Butter knife serves me well.

I use a Stainless Spatula that's made for Rod Building Epoxy.  I got both of mine from AcidRod.com.  I buy from AcidRod whenever possible, and stay away from most other retailers of Rod Building Components.  AcidRod does business right.  My spatulas fit in the hand well, they're stiff, fairly fine-tipped, and machined so they're not sharp anywhere so they don't scratch...and about $3 each.  I also have, from AcidRod, a Marbling Tool that's made for Marbling Pigment and Work.  Pointed tip on one end, small Rounded tip on the other end.  Very nice little tool, also $3.
