These funnel scoops are easy and cheap to make.

They will allow you to easier scoop powders in tubes, crossettes etc.

 

Step 1

Start by cutting a square as big as possible from a soda can.

Step 2

Fasten the cut-out aluminium plate with tape on a flat surface and draw the showed figure. You can make a template and use it if making many scoops to speed up the drawing process.

Step 3

Cut out the forms.

Step 4

Bend the sides upwards as showed to create a channel.

Step 5

On the other side of the channel, put super glue in the middle and attach a popsicle to it. Apply pressure until dry.

Step 6

You're now finished. The scoops are used as showed, but you can also use the funnel scoop itself to take more powder, instead of the spoon.

Lol you should have told me about these earlier :)

 

My concrete is turning black in color from all the BP caked on it...

 

I thought I'd have to stop using 5/8" tubes so I would stop spilling clay\BP lol

I just take some cheap plastic spoons, melt them a little bit, and pinch the ends together, leaving a small spout.

 

I like the Metal idea better, Seems like it will last a little longer.

Woah, I hope you clean it before things take a turn for the worse. A burning floor would not be fun to stand on if it ever came to that.
