> 24 hourI purchased this kit mostly for the 2 longer spatulas since I already had silicone stir sticks. And I have to say, the spatulas are excellent for mixing resin! What I like best is I can scrape the sides of the mixing cup more easily with these than with my other stir sticks, and since the handles are longer theres less chance of getting the resin on my gloves. Really nice! The smaller sticks are nice also and good for mixing smaller batches of resin. Its easy to remove the cured resin from these sticks, and then afterwards I wash them in lukewarm water with mild soap. Great value!

> 24 hourSo in the description it tells u that its easy cleaning, well I use these with resin and when Im done I leave them to dry so I can peel the resin off easier. Well let me tell u what anytime u deal with resin weather its dry or not u wanna wear gloves, well its not easy to peel the dried resin off with gloves and or without. I will just be sticking to the pocksicle sticks

> 24 hourI hate when I open up a can of paint to do some touch-ups only to realize I dont have a paint stick or the one I used the first time is now covered in crusted paint. I was curious why they dont make reusable paint sticks?! It probably wasnt the intended use for this product, but for me this was the perfect solution. I found the smaller sticks work well for quart-sized cans and the larger ones can be used to stir paint gallons. When done, the paint wipes right off. If any dries on the sticks, it peels right off. These are also great for scraping out the last of what is inside the paint can. So glad I found these!

> 24 hourI recently purchased this to replace the need for wooden stir sticks and Im very glad this worked like a charm for my current project, involving the use of silicone. Aside from the colour, having a rounded end makes it so much easier to scape the sides of the cups, especially for mixing silicone (example I used it on Mold Star 30). And youll be glad to know that these are VERY EASY to clean and cured silicone WILL NOT stick to the surface (this was my initial concern), just peel it off and clean). For durability, there is a little flex in the sticks, and for stirring low viscosity material, this can handle it just fine. Overall, great quality, and the price was great too. EDIT: Just a heads up if youre mixing silicone with this: DO NOT LET THE SILICONE CURE! WIPE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY OR YOULL NEVER GET IT OFF! I accidentally left one of the sticks outside and the silicone cured on it. Not the end of the world. You could also spray mold release on the stir stick.

> 24 hourIm on the fence about these. I am using them to mix small to med batches of resin. Pros: Sturdy and Im not destroying any trees or adding to the plastic waste collection. The bigger spatula is great for my mediums pour but if you try to use them for anything smaller than a 12 oz cup its going to tip over from the weight of it. The smaller ones are not tall enough for my med pours and you end up getting it on your hands and almost submersing the stick. For the smaller mixes the smaller sticks are good, but again if your using a small cup youll have to be careful that it doesnt tip over from the weight of it. Also cleaning is not as easy as it says. The resin and paint tends to separate on the silicone and you have all of these separate little drops of resin you have to pick off. I tried to scrub it with a scratchy sponge but that takes time. I can NOT clean it half-hiney either...every drop, glob has to be cleaned off or it will get pulled off into the next project. Then Im scurying to take a toothpick and pick little pieces of the old project out of the new one before my resin sets up. I prefer the wood craft sticks but Im going to try to save a tree and use these. Sigh.

> 24 hourMost silicone products are very easy to clean. This one….. not so much. Not sure if mine are defective or just user error. The product is now scratched because it’s so hard to clean. I did give stars because of the sturdiness and value.
