Summary

This funnel is mainly useful for scale modelers that:

  • paints with acrylic paints
  • uses ultrasonic cleaner for their tools (typically airbrush) with some kind of a solvent

I use ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning my airbrush (and other tools) using solvent (IPA or methylated spirit). Solvent can be use multiple times but:

  • it needs to be stored outside the ultrasonic cleaner to avoid vaporization and smell
  • it needs to be filtered between uses

So I use this funnel with coffee filter (one or two) to pour off polluted solvent from cleaner to PET bottle. With this procedure I can use solvent many many times before it needs to be ecologically disposed.

As well as I use this funnel for gathering waste, filtering solvent/water after cleaning the brushes etc.

Features:

  • Funnel fits to pet bottle screw so work with it is quite safe. There is very little room for mistake/leakage and you don't need 3rd hand
  • Coffee filter size 4 fits perfectly into the funnel. Coffee filters I use as cheap version for chemical filters as for my purpose their quality is quite ok, their are cheap and easy to obtain
