Wake up, babe, a new magnetic stirrer just dropped 💅🏼
Yes, the cute bar of “soap” I’m holding is the stirrer! I’ll be adding more details in the comments. This is not an ad, I’m just really excited about this product.
So, I wanted to try out a lab stirrer to see if it could replace my crazy homemade horseshoe contraption, however… the lab fish stirrer that everyone uses is only available on Amazon and I am boycotting them. I was searching for what other purchasing options I had and I came across this really cute magnetic stirrer that is marketed towards calligraphers for mixing inks!
I figured why not give it a shot and I really love it! Can be plugged in or battery operated, so it’s super portable. It’s small. And it’s CUTE 😍 It is more expensive than the lab fish stirrer, but I think it’s worth the extra cost for the reasons above.
This is not an ad, I have no affiliation with the maker or stockist, but I’m so excited about this stirrer that I want to spread the good news!
I’m still learning how to use it but I do really love the results so far. It’s not quite the same glass bead effect as what I get with my horseshoe, but I do think there is a way to get a similar effect if I can nail down the technique.
A thought: Could this be used to stir polish? I’d love to have a passive way to keep my magnetic particles from sinking without having to shake between each coat.

I will share two links, because [it turns out the original maker is based in Australia (so exciting news for our Aussie laqueristas).](https://luiscreations-store.com/collections/penholders/products/soap-v3-calligrapher-ink-stirrer-english-rose).
Since I’m based in the US, [I purchased it from this seller.](https://www.johnnealbooks.com/product/soap-stirrer)

Omg. A tiny bead in 5 secs 😦 we’ve come so far!
