Here it is and you can grab some the next time you are in Maccas--it's the coffee stirrer which you cut at a very acute angle to make a dandy paint stirrer and transferer because the paint drips beautifully from the stirrer to the bowl of your airbrush.

as a disclaimer to those who work for the mighty Maccas corporation, I always buy a cup of coffee when I drop in for some stirrers

Brilliant!  Never ever considered using those stick myself since they were the wrong kind of plastic for model building but you certainly have found a good use for the things.

They use wooden stirrers in the UK and I find them invaluable. They can be sanded to almost any or thickness for applying filler or stirring paint etc. Got a stack of them in different sizes
