Hello,

For those that use them, do you ever screen your chemicals to get the gunk out? I was thinking of using automotive paint filters for this.

Thanks,

I think Fred mentioned in a post he uses coffee filters for that purpose. That might get you a few extra cycles.
I fish because the voices in my head tell me to.

If the active ingredient is reactive or volatile, then it will become weaker through use.

That sounds cheaper than what I was going to use. I'll give that a try first.

Thanks,

Steve

Yep, hopefully I can make it last a little longer and see small parts in the jars I use. A few times when putting a reel back together I've had to go back to the jar and fish out a small part that I missed because my fluid is dirty.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Here's the thread I refer to.

It has some really good tips on what solution to use for what kind of part and mentions the coffee filter.
