BBTO Graphite Stir Rod, 12 Inch Length, 5/16 Inch Diameter (3 Pieces) for Melting, Casting, Refining Gold, Silver, Copper

I used these as electrodes on an electrolysis machine that I use to make hypochlorous acid (for cleaning). They work great. I'm still on my first pair and have made about 20 gallons so far.

Quality graphite stir rods. Great value for the money.

Long and fragile. I do wish there was a tapered ebd or maybe even a spoon shape, but the work well for what they are. Though they are brittle, and even a slight bump or tap can snap them.

I love using these rods to check on my metals to see if they’re completely melted since I currently don’t have an industrial thermometer gun, this is an old fashioned way of checking if your metals are thoroughly melted.

They work good pretty fragile though.

Gotta skim when cleaning impurities out of metals! Don’t forget borax!

I ORDERED THESE EARLY MAY, NEVER …NEVER USED THEM!!! I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BUBBLE WRAP AND THIS IS WHAT I SEE . I HATE THAT THE RETURN WINDOW HAS CLOSED BECAUSE I CERTAINLY WOULD RETURN THEM. THEY FEEL LIKE CHALK AND APPARENTLY ARE NOT AS RIGID AS I THOUGHT WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS… NOT AT ALL!!!!*I COULD NOT SUBMIT WITHOUT THE RATING WHICH I PUT 1STAR IT DOESNT DESERVE THAT.

Just short of 12 inches but usable
