Go to your nearest farm supply store, like Tractor Supply. They sell fiberglass "fence poles or flag poles that the farmers use to mark their fields with. These are all white, can be painted, and non conducting. I've been using them for years. Items made with them usually have to be disassembled rather than repaired. They make great spreaders.

What diameters and lengths do these come in? :think

The ones I use are 3/8 diameter and 5 ft long. I've seen different diameters and different length rods. I use a hacksaw to cut them to the size I need. Put tape on both sides of the cut, while cutting. This helps eliminate splinters.

It took awhile but I finally found a site again, where you can order bulk quantity of fiberglass rods, pretty cheap.

diameter fiberglass, non carbon sticks.
