Purchasing high quality stickers is long overdue for me. I've had enough of my homemade warped drying stickers and am looking to purchase fluted, spiral, or otherwise high-quality kiln sticks that are consistent thickness and won't leave stains. Looking for recommendations on where to purchase. Thanks.
I have heard good things about the Breez-Dried stickers
US coatings (distributors of anchor seal) now carries smaller bundles than are required to purchase from the manufacturer for Breez dried. I think
@YellowHammer and
@customsawyer have experience with the stickers. I think Robert buys them outright, and Jake may have obtained his from his prev. employer.
I think it was just before Covid I was planning to get the spiral type stickes like the Breeze. There was another outfit making them in Tennesee if I remember correctly. I was planning to go there to pick up a pallet of them, but I wanted to find someone that also wanted them so I could pick up more at once and split the travel costs. It never happened though. I can't find the contact. But maybe someone else here has it?
Nevermind, I found it. Has anyone here used their sticks? Their location might be more convenient for some to mitigate the shipping cost.

I have been buying mine from Kelvin at Kilnsticks for many years, he's a good guy, even if he is from Tennessee, tell him you know me if you want. Same place as Brad's link below.

I got a 20' trailer load of them from the big mill i used to cut for. They used 6' stickers in a automated system. When the stickers would get broken a little they would just chip them up. I parked my trailer and asked them to put them on it. It worked great for my set up, as there is both fluted and flat stickers. I use the fluted on my hardwoods but find they can leave indention in the soft woods towards the bottom of the stacks. So I use the flat ones on soft wood and fluted on hardwood.
