Paint sticks come free when you purchase a gallon or a 5-gallon bucket of paint at any home improvement store. If you can’t grab some for free you can always purchase 1/2″ x 2 strips of pine in the lumbar section, as well, which is comparable to the 5-gallon stir sticks you get at the paint counter.
