AMAZING Airless Sprayer Accessory

What happens here

Place your paint sprayer tips into the designated holes on the Tipsaver. Gun filters (or 'duckbill wings'/'housings') can be placed in the side notches, designed to securely hold them without interfering with tips or other filters. Submerge the loaded Tipsaver into a gallon paint can filled with approximately 2 to 3 inches of paint thinner or lacquer thinner. The enclosed atmosphere within the can, combined with the solvent, will keep the tips pliable and prevent them from drying out or corroding. The Tipsaver's drain slots (gutters) allow excess liquid to dissipate quickly when removed from the can, preventing spills and mess on the job site. The Tipsaver can be filled to any desired level of solvent.

Goal: Place paint sprayer tips, gun filters, and housings into the assembled Tipsaver, then submerge it in a paint can containing a small amount of cleaning solution for effective cleaning and safe storage.
