12/07/2014


From original questioner:

What mesh strainers is anybody using to strain there cv when pouring it into the gun? I have been using medium mesh. Just wondering if I should use fine. Thanks...........nicko

I just use a paper cone strainer, medium.

If you aren't having any issues with the medium mesh then why bother? If you are having smutz get through then go to the finer mesh.

I always use the finest I can find for
clear finishes.
Can't imagine any reason not to.

one reason comes to mind... viscosity

If it's to thick to go through a fine strainer,
it's to thick for my HVLP to spray it.

I use the fine for clears too...and the CV I use goes through them almost as fast as I can pour. The medium works great for pigmented finishes.

I have been known to use old
panty hose to strain with.
Works pretty good.

I found this on Ebay, it works
real well too
