Thread: Stirring rods

For a 1 gallon plastic jug, do you pour in in a 5 gallon bucket and mix?

No, the little string rod in the drill I stick it right into the jugs. I use the big stirring rod for 5 gallon bucket..

Where did you get the small stirring stick. It seems like a better option than the arrow I use to stir my plastisol.

I don’t remember where I got the small one but Amazon sell small rods for gallon containers. It might’ve been from the fat guy fishing might’ve been from bait plastic. It might’ve been from one of the suppliers. I just don’t remember. I’m pretty sure you can go to any hardware store and pick one up. .

Today I mixed a gallon of hard and a gallon of medium red label, poured in a 5 gallon bucket and mixed well, then used my measuring cup to put back into jug, now I need one of those small mixers.

Yes, definitely get a stirring Rod to do your stirring. Do not whatever you do shake the jug you’ll get bubbles.

I found my stirring rod and it’s to big to fit inside the spout of jug.
