Should I use a right or left stirring rods for my MX 1000/1200/1600?

To mix heavy and viscous materials such as mortar and plaster, we recommend a stirrer rod that is spiralled to the right with three spirals. It generates high shear forces, which means that the material is perfectly mixed from the bottom to the top.
To stir clear coats, dispersion adhesives, wallpaper paste as well as low-viscosity materials and paints we recommend using a stirrer rod that is spiralled to the left, and that mixes the material from top to bottom while simultaneously preventing the material from spurting out.
