Can I just use regular latex or do you think that would chip off in the boiling water? If so what kind of paint or sealant would be best?

Is it a wooden paddle or a metal one?
I'd spray it with auto paint. That would be the most durable.

If you want to go cheaper, find something that you can put a polyurethane clear over.

What paint will stand up to boiling water and not poison the pot?

Painted wood and boiling water don't go together.

Auto paint, latex, two-part epoxy; I wouldn't use any of 'em.

Why not just carve the wood or use a woodburner?

You can buy a crawfish paddle for $20 or use a piece of 2x2 to stir the pot, unless the one you are painting has sentimental value and absolutely has to have that one painted and used in a crawfish boil buy another one and paint it.

If you must have a painted paddle, just hang it up for a decoration. Don't dip painted wood in a pot of food.

I made my crawfish paddle from a spare length of oak floor board one day when I was bored and the router was plugged in. It looks shitty, but it stirs fine.

The problem is. I had one. One of my buddies got drunk and wrote some stupid shite all over it. I'll probably just get another. Thank yall for the advice.
