5 TIPS on airless spray Tips.
What happens here
Proper storage is essential for prolonging the life of your paint sprayer tips. A traditional method involves storing tips and guards in an empty paint can filled with mineral spirits (for oil-based paints) or a similar water-based solvent. However, it's advised against storing them in plain water, as even stainless steel and carbide components can rust or corrode over time. More convenient options include specialized storage devices like a 'Tip Saver,' a multi-tip holder designed to suspend tips in a small container of solvent, or a sealed hourglass-shaped container pre-filled with a protective, water-based product. These hourglass containers allow for easy retrieval of tips without direct contact with the liquid by simply flipping them over, letting the liquid settle to the bottom, and then picking out the tips.
Goal: Discover effective methods for storing paint sprayer tips to prevent drying, rust, and corrosion, extending their functional life and ensuring they are ready for future use.
