All of the posts I have seen so far with regard to mixing epoxy list wood -Popcicle sticks, tongue depressors... Could plastic be used? I was thinking of using some of the little plastic spoons that are included here with yoghurt, icecream etc.I think I have about half a drawer full (rather than just toss them, I keep them 'just in case'), and this sounds like a good way to finally use them.
