[quote=”Jayson M” post=36825][quote=”smooth” post=36820][quote=”hating-painting” post=36805]Why are you guys using the metal cups for sealer and clear?
Feeling the screen in the pps cups are too restrictive?[/quote]For my situation it’s cheaper, comes down to cost.[/quote]
Actually its not,think about the labour per 1 gun cleaning session and the solvent.Or you fill a disposable cup then throw it out when your done.The disposable cups are cheaper in the long run,add up how many sessions per day,week,year and the disposable systems are cheaper.[/quote
Like I said, for my situation it’s cheaper, I have a gun washer that recycles gun wash and cleans the guns for me.
[quote=”Jayson M” post=36826][quote=”smooth” post=36823][quote=”ryan999″ post=36807]Stick with the RPS cups. They do not restrict flow and you get a clean cup for every use.
You can use the 125 micron strainers for sealer, base and clear. You only need the 190 for primer. I always use 190 micron for all BTLV also.[/quote]
Really depends what paint system and strainers one is using, The PPG waterborne recommends 125 strainers with solvent glue on the screen, and the 190’s are for solvent that has waterborne glue on them, maybe Akzo isn’t like this , I’m just clarifying so no one gets confused.[/quote]
Are you talking about the paper strainers?There is no point in using them as all cup systems come with the strainers you put in the cup.Akzo does recommend 125 for for WB but its not a big deal to use them with sealer or clear,it will just strain out smaller chunks of crap.Basf suggests 190 for WB so again like you said it depends on the system used.[/quote]
All the painters I know in my area are using paper strainers before pouring the paint into the cup so it’s double strained, never be too sure when it comes to dirt
Never had the need for that,we mix paint in the cup then add the lid with the strainer and go spray.Maybe there is more crap in your brand IDK :S If you think about it the only way double straining will work is if the second one is finer than the first 😉 That seems kind of counter productive to mix in something else,strain into your cup and go,just sayin……

It doesn’t take that long
If you say so….
Jayson I agree with you I also mix paint and clear inside the rps cups and never have issue with dirt
