Review on ๐ŸŒ€ Efficient 4-Pack of Trimaco SuperTuff Cone Strainer - Medium Mesh by Curtis Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy and works great

I am impressed with the quality of this product. I've used mesh filters in the past where either the filter material fell off +/or the cardboard wobbled and fell into the bucket. I prevent the latter by the fact that each filter has two opposite holes. I open the cone, thread a cut piece of strong wire hanger (from a local dry cleaner) through the holes and spread it around the rim of the bucket. This gives enough support that as long as I don't pour too much paint into the cone too quickly and split the holes, the wire hanger will keep the cone from falling off. 5 gallon bucket with 1 gallon bucket inside to allow water to enter). As for the filter media, I combined two different 1/3 full gallons by pouring them both into a 3 gallon bucket, so it was used 3 times. I poured slowly, the paint flowed well, and when I got to the end I let it sit until the paint was completely gone. My patience paid off as the cone filter removed a bunch of dirt and I now have a nearly 1 gallon bucket of cleaner and expensive paint to use in the future.
