Title: where can I find....
Post by: jenkins on November 24, 2010, 10:10:27 pm

Hello all I am looking for a couple of items that I have seen mentioned on the forum to help me with paint. Any suggestions for good sources of copper ball bearings and small funels with filters to get any particles out would be much appreciated.

Thanks

funnels with filters , try your local motor paint factors , they are called paint strainers !  filter coffee strainers may also work ? or a pair of old tights held tightly over the end of the paint can ! as for copper balls possibly a bearing factor such as bearing services  ( bsl ) antifriction , etc . look in your local phone directory for your nearest supplier .
