Paint strainers
« on: July 02, 2009, 03:42:41 pm »
Went to 2 Lowe's and a Home Depot and it seems like they no longer carry them around here.   The one lady at Lowe's said she keeps getting people asking for them.   Anyone else having them disappear???

Don't know if it would work for what you want but you might try:

I hate to say the word " WalMart " , in the sewing material they have bolts nylon veil netting , I use it to strain my honey, wax, and even made my bee veil to fit over my cowboy hat !!

For 1 yard length about 2 yards wide I believe it was 89 cents.

They moved where they kept them at my Lowes... had to find a rep and ask to locate them last week... I had overlooked them twice in my searching, gotta start taking my bifocals in with me.  8-)

Where they still in the paint section?   I asked an associate in the paint section and she said they no longer had them.

Every time we learn where every thing is they move things around.
Just like the answer, every time we figure that out, they change the question. :roll: :shock: ;) :)doak.

Home Depot, Sherwin Williams and Lowes all have them here, with the paint sprayers. (Kind of critical not to have chunks in stuff you want to spray! LOL)
