Silicone Mixing Sticks for Epoxy Resin – Reusable Resin Art Stirring Sticks | Northland Resin Art
Northland Resin Art Silicone Mixing Sticks are a practical, reusable addition to your resin art supplies and are ideal for mixing and stirring smaller quantities of epoxy resin, casting resin, pigments and mica powders.
Whether you are creating resin jewellery, coasters, artwork, moulded pieces, small castings or other epoxy resin projects, these silicone mixing sticks provide a convenient way to thoroughly mix your resin and additives without relying on disposable mixing tools.
The flexible silicone construction makes the sticks easy to clean and reuse, making them a great choice for resin artists and crafters who regularly work with epoxy resin.
Strong, Flexible & Reusable
Each mixing stick is made from silicone moulded over a wooden stick with internal wire inserts. The thin metal wire insert provides additional strength and stiffness, helping the stick maintain its shape while you mix your resin.
Although reinforced, the mixing stick remains flexible and can bend without breaking, making it easier to use when mixing resin in different-sized mixing cups and containers.
The silicone surface also makes removing cured resin easier. Once resin has completely cured, it can often be peeled away from the silicone surface, allowing the mixing stick to be used again.
Ideal for Epoxy Resin & Resin Art
These reusable silicone mixing sticks are particularly useful when working with smaller amounts of resin where you want good control while mixing.
Use them for:
- Mixing epoxy resin and hardener
- Stirring smaller quantities of epoxy resin
- Mixing resin and mica powders
- Blending resin pigments and colourants
- Mixing glitter and other resin-art additives
- Resin jewellery projects
- Coasters and small resin moulds
- Resin art and craft projects
- Small casting projects
- DIY epoxy resin projects
For best results, always follow the mixing ratio and mixing instructions supplied with your particular epoxy resin.
Easy to Clean & Reuse
One of the major advantages of silicone mixing sticks is that they can be cleaned and reused, helping reduce the amount of disposable waste produced during resin projects.
For easiest cleaning, remove as much excess resin as possible while it is still uncured.
Recommended Cleaning Method
- Wipe the mixing stick with white vinegar while the resin is still uncured.
- Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water.
- Rinse and allow the stick to dry completely before using it again.
Alternatively, you can allow the resin to fully cure on the mixing stick and then peel the hardened resin away from the silicone surface.
Important: We recommend using white vinegar and warm soapy water for cleaning rather than putting solvents such as acetone directly onto your hands. Always follow the safety and handling instructions provided with your resin and cleaning products.
