Mixing Sticks

General Description

It's a piece of wood 3/4" by 6" long, maybe 1/8" thick.

Velocity Use

What can't these things be used for? Use them for mixing epoxy and applying micro. Glue them in place to hold the sides of your NACA Ducts out. Cut them into triangles to hold up your fuel baffles, or to put gentle pressure on your windows while they cure. As they say, "but wait... there's more..."

Packaging Weights

The factory sells these in boxes of 500.

Directions for Use

Mixing Sticks cut square

I tend to cut the end off square for mixing epoxy, as well as applying micro/schmooey. I use the round end for making a nice radius.

Safety and Handling

It's a damn stick. Keep it out of your eye.
