Product Description
Wooden paint stirrers (3 pack) for mixing and re-mixing coatings before application. Ideal for emulsion, gloss, primers, undercoats, varnishes and other trade and DIY paints. These wooden mixing sticks are a simple, clean way to blend settled pigment back into the paint so you get a consistent colour and finish.
They’re handy for small tins and touch-up jobs, but also useful when decanting paint into trays or when adding tints and additives. Because they’re disposable, you can avoid cross-contamination between colours and products and keep your tools tidy.
Suitable for:
- Water-based and solvent-based paints
- Primers and undercoats
- Varnishes and wood finishes
- Small mixes, samples and touch-ups
How to use:
Stir thoroughly from the bottom of the tin until the paint is smooth and even. For best results, scrape the sides and base to lift any settled solids.
If you need rollers, trays or other accessories, see our full range of painting equipment and consumables.
Q: What are wooden paint stirrers used for?
Wooden paint stirrers are used to mix paint thoroughly before use, helping to re-blend pigments and solids that settle in the tin. Proper stirring helps improve colour consistency, coverage and finish.
Q: Can I use these paint stirrer sticks with emulsion paint?
Yes. These wooden stir sticks are ideal for mixing emulsion and other common water-based paints before cutting-in or rolling.
Q: Are these suitable for gloss, varnish or solvent-based paints?
They can be used for mixing many coatings, including solvent-based products. If you’re using strong solvents, dispose of used stirrers safely and follow the coating manufacturer’s handling guidance.
Q: How long should I stir paint for?
As a rule, stir until the paint looks consistent in colour and texture with no thicker material at the bottom of the tin. If the paint has been stored for a long time, it may take a few minutes to fully mix.
Q: Do I need to stir paint if I’m using a brand-new tin?
It’s still a good idea. Even new tins can settle in storage and transit, so a quick stir helps ensure a consistent finish.
Q: How many stirrers are included?
This product contains 3 wooden paint stirrers.
Q: Are wooden paint stirrers reusable?
They can be reused for small jobs if cleaned straight away, but most people treat them as disposable to keep things quick and tidy.
Q: What else do I need for paint prep?
For best results, combine good stirring with the right prep: clean surfaces, correct primer/undercoat where needed, and the right roller/brush for the coating you’re using.
