Just about any dental tool can serve as the starting point of a useful tool.
If it isn't shaped the way that you want, use a grinder (don't get the tool
too hot!) to reshape the tip of the tool.
I'm looking for a periodontal probe, AKA a peri probe. These are used to
check the extent of gum disease and they are a thin pin on the end of a
handle. The pin has a mark every millimeter or else every three millimeters.
Seems like the perfect thing for checking glaze application thickness.

Just ask your dentist if he has any discarded tools you could have.
Then, when you see what he has, take what you think might work for you,
go home and try them out.
If you don't like what you took, take them back or just keep them
for some future possible use.
