Good advice Rick. I'm just too lazy to sit there and stir, but I guess I should change my ways. It was Reggie's post about stir sticks that reminded me of the BB problem in the first place.

I've found that toothpicks are a bit too short, but a good alternative might be those BBQ Shish-Kabob sticks that you can get at the grocer. Even cut in half they would be longer and stronger than a T/P. Just a thought.

thanks for the advice,

I tried bamboo barbecue skewers recently and when I was cutting them in half, I discovered that little fibers tend to break off. Seeing as how I don't want wood fibers getting in the paint, I'll probably go back to the florist greeting card holders that I cut up for paint stirrers.
