Nice to have a supply of these

When buying paint at the paint store they usually throw in a few strainers and stir sticks. Maybe it's because I'm not a regular but they never seem to throw in enough for my needs. Running short on these is a big problem so when I saw an opportunity to get these in bulk for a good price I bought them. I'm happy I did. Now when ever I need a strainer I have one. They are nothing special but there is also not a single thing wrong with them. They do what they should for a good price and are very handy to have around if you do any painting.

Decent filters

They definitely get used before pouring paint into my gun and they definitely keep the dirt out. They CAN be washed after use (run water through the filter and over the fabric), air dried, and then used again. However, don't expect more than a few more uses out of them after that as the fabric doesn't exactly repel water and wears pretty quickly with multiple uses. But hey, you get a lot of filters!

Many uses

At first I thought that a pack of 50 was excessive for the small spray job I had. However, couldn't resist at the price point. Turns out that I use them for straining a myriad of things now from varnish to fryer oil. They do what they're supposed to do: strain. I haven't had any of them come apart or fail in any way. Great multi-use product to have around the house.

Excellent Value and a MUST for any Airbrush artist.

I actually rip the filter screen off and place it under the lid of my airbrush paint bottles. Has been working well so far and I can’t complain of the simplicity of straining my paint as I’m pouring it out of the bottle..... I also add marbles to my bottles and after some use I inspected the screen and it doesn’t seem to have stretched or deformed from the marble. I’ll obviously have to replace the screen at some point but the amount of screens you get in this pack is enough for a LONG time using this method... each filter has enough for, at the very least, 2 bottles of Createx paint and 1 [maybe 2, i haven’t tried] bottle[s] of Vallejo (or other brands with smaller bottles). Excellent Value.

Many applications. Love them.

Started out using them to filter paint for my air sprayer. They worked well. Ended up using them to filter my coolant after draining my radiator for work, and they fit perfectly into the funnel. Then I had to drop my fuel tank, and upon draining the fuel it got dirty. Filters worked great for that too. These are considerable cheaper than purchasing at the big orange store. Buy them.

Project

I bought these paint strainers for an epic kitchen project I undertook. I painted my kitchen cabinets and walls and used these strainers to string anything out that wasn't supposed to be in the paint. They work well, they aren't reusable so its great they come in a large pack. My project came out awesome, no paint issues.

Reusable to an extent.

I was able to carefully rinse one filter out a couple times before needing a new one, if you're that type of person. Otherwise you can use the filter once and toss. It is amazing all the garbage that is in paint and how easy a handheld sprayer will clog without first filtering the paint. These help with that problem.

Whiskey filter, yup

I'm a heavy whiskey drinker. I'm mean I can't see straight half the time, the other half im sleeping. I used this to filter my home brews.

Great For Weekend Painters

I purchased these paint filters because my wife and I have slowly been repainting our house and have been bitten more than once by dirt getting into our paint. Once we started filtering all of our paint with these filters our projects have come out much nicer and we are able to use all the paint in the can without fear of contamination. We've been using latex paint, which some reviewers believe that these filters are too fine for. We did find them to be a bit slow, but it isn't by any means unbearable, especially if you will be filling them all or most of the way. The bottom line is: they are cheap, work well, and can just be tossed out when you finish the job (IE: less cleaning!)

Great for use in the kitchen too.

Although these work fine for filtering paint before spraying I have found that they are also great for filtering kombucha before bottling. I rarely spray paint so these have moved from the shop into the kitchen where I continue to find uses for them. I've even strained bacon grease to keep for cooking and seasoning. (I use extreme caution when doing this).
