Model Paint Stirrer (2)

This Tamiya paint stirrer comes in a two-pack of identical, stainless-steel stirrers. The stirrer design has one rounded, cupped end, and one square-tipped paddle end which is broad enough to keep the tool from rolling, separated by a comfortably long round handle, with a total length of 15 cm (6 inches). Thus equipped, the modeler can get into most tight corners and scrape loose collected pigment from around the bottom of most paint containers. Clean-up should be easy, and even dried paint should loosen from the stirrer in solvent and come off without damaging the stainless steel. This stirrer also looks like it could be used as a putty applicator or sculpting tool if the need arose. The only caution I have is that the flat, paddle end is a bit sharp with pointed corners, so maybe children should learn to use it under adult supervision unless you can carefully file the corners and end into a smoother finish.

these are great.. and easy cleaning afterwards ..well made

these stirrers are great. Shaking the paints does not always get all the sediment mixed. The stirrers do. I have some paints that are a few years old and after a few minutes using the stirrers it is completely mixed. The spoon end is helpful to get everything from the bottom.
