Straining Your Airbrush Paint
Paint StrainerBy Don Johnson Here's an easy way to strain your paint before you use it. I can not take credit for this it's an old painters trick that has been around for years. Hopefully you will find it handy. For water based paints you can use a section of ladies stockings, nylons in place of the paper paint strainer material. "Straining Airbrush Paint" |

Screw your bottle cap lid on right over the straining material you just placed on top of the bottle and screw it down tightly. Now ever time you go to pour paint out of this bottle the paint will get strained. It's that easy and can be done for water based paints as well as solvent based paints as pictured below. |
