Stop-Loss bags
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:14 pm
I tried using Bloxygen to keep finish fresh, but waterborne finishes will cause metal cans to rust eventually making a real mess, and Bloxygen is expensive as hell, and you don't get much yield from each can.
I've been using these StopLoss bags for a few months now. I can attest that these babies are the bees knees. You can get a silicone funnel that fits tightly over the top of a standard quart-sized paint can and attaches snugly to the top of the Stop-Loss bag. Once you turn the quart can upside down, you *boink* a hole into the bottom with an awl, and it flows right into the bag - no muss, no fuss. The funnel doesn't fit on the top of the quart cans that they ship Brite Tone in, but it's still easy to hold the funnel with one hand and pour with the other. You can either clean the funnel or just let the finish dry and peel it out when cured.
These are priced very reasonably. Our woodworking club made a huge group buy on these, so we got the shipping down to almost nothing. Most of us got extra caps JIC and a funnel.
Highly recommended.
