In the paint section a the hardware store I noticed these gizmos for sitting over paint cans, or in roller pans, to run your brush or roller over to remove excess paint. They were real cheap. Just bought and bent in half to make a V. Have been planning to cut off the curved 'legs' on the end, but have not done so yet.
I like these as there are multi levels for sticking the rods, either on top, or through the holes. Very little contact point for chilling the rods.
