Product Information
Full details
The Modelcraft Mixing Sticks are designed for hobbyists, crafters, and model makers who require precision when blending paints, resins, stains, and epoxies. These tools offer the primary benefit of consistent material preparation thanks to their slim profile, though users should note that they are intended as manual mixing implements rather than heavy-duty mechanical stirring tools. Each pack provides 25 durable sticks sized specifically to fit through the openings of most standard modelling paint bottles.

Will they fit inside Citadel or Vallejo paint pots?

Are these made of wood or plastic?
The product is designed to be sturdy and durable for hobby use; please refer to the specific material guidelines on your product packaging.
Can I use these to apply glue to tiny parts?

Troubleshooting
Material sticking to the tool
Ensure the stick is wiped clean immediately after use before the medium begins to cure or dry.
Tool feels too flexible for thick epoxy
Use shorter, controlled strokes and ensure you are only stirring small batches appropriate for the tool's size.

Care instructions:
- For water-based paints: Wipe clean with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent build-up.

- Storage: Keep in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the material.
