I use a table spoon for when you have soup and drill 2 holes in it and cut 2 parts of wood to screw together on the handle of the spoon and it works for me. As for flux i use ground up corn cobs. it take care of all I looking to do with it.Years ago I had a farmer that have a feed mill ground some corn cobs up for me that my brother had from the pop corn he grows.I also use the corn cobs grounded to tumble for my brass also.

Wooden stick, paint stick or whatever wooden sticks you can find.
Using wood you will clean the bottom and sides much better, you'll have cleaner alloy and will also help stop any dripping or clogging of a bottom pour pot.
Dip it in slowly at first so the moisture can leave the wood, you will hear the snap and crackle.
I've been stirring and skimming with a couple of old stainless steel spoons my mom gave me 50 years ago. I don't see how stainless steel would/could cause any issues.
I was told not to use sterling silver because they conduct heat so well they would get hot....back in the day if you wore gloves you was a pansy , casting with no shirt and wearing nothing but shorts was the manly way!

I've been using an old long fountain spoon that I rounded the nose on.
The round nose fits the profile of the side of the pot.
Works great so far.
A SS salad spoon with holes drilled on the edges of the spoonCurious what you all use to stir your bottom melt pot.
