Filter foreign matter or undissolved solid particles found in stains or finish coatings.
Paper Cone 6 in Dia., full flow cloth mesh tip leaves no finish in the strainer.
Seed, Button and Black shellacs benefit by filtering through layers
of medium Cheese Cloth first.
Use Fine Mesh for final straining of shellac, varnish, lacquers, paint,
and most any furniture finish, especially for spraying.
Strain through Medium filter followed by FINE mesh straining for best results.
Medium mesh is 226 microns  • Fine mesh is 190 microns
