fishon-son Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 ive been using coffee filters to hold the paint in the cup everything works well but theres lost under the filter in the bottom of the cup....I notice a guy at the fishing show was selling cups with lids and had a plastic bottom that was the filter he kept the paint in the cup pulled it out put the lid on and put in another cup that already had paint in in quick change.....what the plastic called that's used as the filter air comes right through it...

Kasilofchrisn Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 It's called fluidizing plate. I've bought some before. I'm not sure it's really that much of an advantage. I mostly use Tyvek on mine now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.t.pockets Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tyvek is FREE. Go to the post office and get the PRIORITY MAIL ENVELOPS , cut them to fit , either glue them to the bottom of cups or hold in with a test cap (with center knocked out ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I never dump a fluid bed cup and/or clean it out. At least not unless I'm getting rid rid of or am out of that paint color all together. It doesn't matter whether my cups have fluidizing played in them Tyvek or whatever I have a heated dry area to store them and I've not had issues storing my paint in the cups. I do use knockout test caps as lids to keep foreign objects out of my paint while it's being stored. You can buy fluidizing plate from McMaster-Carr. I bought some on eBay once but when I was asked to find the vendor again I wasn't able to find them. I'm guessing it was a one-time deal for the seller. Just be aware when I cut my own fluidizing plate I was not able to find a hole saw the exact size of the inside diameter of a 2 inch PVC pipe. That meant I had to find the closest hole saw that was bigger and then used a belt sander to sand them down to the correct dimensions to go in the cups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 I've done jigs up to 48 oz and Jigs up to 10 and 1/2 in Long in some of my fluid bed cups. If you build your fluid beds and cups properly you can easily do larger fishing jigs in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
