1. Mixing Resin: Bamboo sticks are commonly used to mix resin and hardener thoroughly, ensuring an even consistency and avoiding any uncured spots in the final piece.
2. Applying Resin: They help in spreading or applying resin to small or intricate areas where brushes or larger tools may not be suitable.
3. Popping Bubbles: Artists use bamboo sticks to gently pop any surface bubbles that may appear during the curing process, especially in delicate or detailed areas.
4. Creating Patterns: Bamboo sticks can be used to swirl colors, create textures, or form intricate designs in the resin while it’s still wet.
5. Handling Small Items: They are useful for picking up, positioning, or embedding small objects (such as glitter, beads, or dried flowers) into the resin without disturbing the surrounding area.
