Anyone got any good ideas of what to use for a paint filter, I forgot to buy them and need to strain my old blobby primer. I have a sieve but can't use it for paint? Good ideas much appreciated!
House hold item to use as a paint filter?

Hmm. Could there be a movie in there somewhere:
"Farrow & Ball: Paint in Tights"
Er, p'raps not.

Stockings are better. There is no technical difference from a mesh point of view but the acquisition is far more fun! :mrgreen:

I think that is the popular view Jim
I always used the top of a stocking as it is double mesh, it was called the giggling ring in my youth, once past that and you were laughing

That brings back memories, we called it the giggle band for exactly the same reason :lol:

I used to call it 'The Slap Ring'....... no real need to explain why.
I needed some tights/stockings to filter some paint a while back. When I asked some young ladies if they had any I could use they looked at me as if I'd just beamed down from Mars.....
Mind you...... Probably would have been better if I'd asked someone I actually knew.

You're quite right Studders.
The other problem is that only the biggest lumps are caught by fishnets, I expect.

Chems,
There are a thousand and one uses for tights, so if you're not already married, then get looking! Plus, the side benefits are worth every pair!
From experience, I know that under your trews, on cold winter nights, they are warmer than long-johns, especially on a Honda.
Regards
John

It also helps if they're not wearing them at the time!
