Why You Must Strain Paint Before Spraying! | Airless Sprayer Tips from The Idaho Painter

What happens here

Once the paint is thoroughly mixed, carefully lift the original paint bucket and slowly pour its contents into the prepared clean bucket, allowing the paint to pass through the mesh strainer bag. The strainer will capture any dried paint, clumps, or debris, ensuring only smooth, consistent paint flows into the clean bucket. Exercise caution to prevent any accidental dropping of tools (like a mixer handle) into the paint.

Goal: Carefully pour the mixed paint from its original bucket into the clean bucket through the mesh strainer, collecting impurities.

What they say

Hide

going to take my paint. I'm going to dump it in my strainer. I have throwaway latex gloves. Just drop my handle right in the paint. Um, not supposed to do that. So, um, but anyways, I'll just dump this paint in there. I want to be careful with this handle. Um, wasn't paying attention. Literally the first time I've ever done that in my entire career painting. Um, that's what happens sometimes when you're filming. So, I'm going to dump everything in there and scrape this off.
