Shoutout to the guy who told me to use a paint stirrer on a drill for mixing epoxy
I was wrestling with a gallon of West System 105 for a tabletop pour and my arms were about to fall off. Some old timer at the Rockler in Portland told me to chuck a flat stirrer into my cordless drill and mix it that way. Total game changer, no more clumpy hardener spots in my finish. Has anyone else found a weird tool hack that just works for big resin jobs?

That "total game changer" part hits hard because yeah, it really is. I did the same thing with a cheap paddle bit and a Makita drill for a bar top pour, saved me from a sore shoulder the next day. Only tip I'd add is to run the drill slow at first so you don't suck a ton of bubbles into the mix.
