Up till now i have been making my own stir sticks for epoxy out of scrap wood or plywood. They were always either too few or too feeble, or nowhere to be found... I was also always running out of sticks/spoons/whathaveyou for making fillets and scooping up squeezeout. No more, I say. I ordered a batch of large paint stir sticks and small pop-sickle sticks for making tiny fillets. A batch of larger ones (for larger fillets) is on it's way. All I have to say here is: don't skimp on stir sticks or it will drive you crazy! (and don't wait until this far in the build with that).
Other tips include: do get yourself a lot of paper cups for mixing smaller quantities (plastic ones break too easily). Larger quantities of epoxy I mix in plastic paint trays using putty knives, usually metal ones. Cured epoxy cleans off of them quite easily.
Happy mixing!
