Product Information
Full details
The Bitec Paint Strainers (COB-100) are essential tools for professional painters and DIY enthusiasts who demand a flawless, debris-free finish on their projects. These disposable fine-mesh filters excel at removing lumps, dried paint particles, and impurities from your paint before application, ensuring a smooth flow through spray guns and brushes. While these strainers provide exceptional filtration performance, users should note that they are designed for single-use applications and must be disposed of after each session to prevent contamination of future batches.

FAQs
Can I reuse these strainers if I wash them?
No, these are designed as disposable items. Washing them will likely compromise the mesh density and introduce unwanted moisture or contaminants.
Are these suitable for automotive paint?
Yes, they are highly effective for filtering automotive paints to ensure a smooth, glossy finish for professional results.
What is the micron rating of the mesh?
The mesh is designed to be a fine-grade filter suitable for standard household and professional paint applications.
Will these work with oil-based stains?
Yes, they are compatible with both water-based and oil-based coatings.
How should I dispose of the used strainers?
Dispose of them according to your local regulations regarding hazardous waste and paint-contaminated materials.
Troubleshooting
Paint is passing through the strainer very slowly
The paint may be too thick or the mesh may be clogged with excessive debris. Stir the paint thoroughly before pouring or check if the paint has expired.
The paper cone is collapsing under the weight of the paint
Ensure you are using a proper funnel support. Do not pour heavy paint all at once; pour in smaller, steady batches to prevent overwhelming the structural integrity of the paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required for the Bitec COB-100 strainers. Simply unfold the cone, ensure the mesh is taut within the paper frame, and place it firmly into your pouring funnel or the rim of your container. These strainers are compatible with most water-based and solvent-based paints, enamels, and stains. Because they are a disposable product, no maintenance or care is required; however, you should store the unused portion of the 100-pack in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture from weakening the paper frame of the strainers.
