Tricks of the Trade Compiled by Paul Anthony Filter Finishes Without Fumbling THE WINNER: I filter quite a lot of finishes to prepare them for spraying, as well as to clean the shellac I make from flakes. I found it awkward holding paper filter funnels over spray cups and containers, trying to direct the flow while peering into the cup to avoid overfilling it and making a mess. While loading my coffee maker one morning, the solution hit me. I grabbed some 3/4"-thick plywood and cobbled together this finish filter holder. The top and bottom are 7" square and the back is 9" high. (You may want to modify the sizes to suit your particular needs.) I centered and then cut a diameter hole in the top and chamfered the top edges to accommodate a funnel filter. To easily position my containers, I marked concentric rings on the bottom piece to match the diameters of my spray cups and commonly used jars. I also drilled a couple of small holes through the top to hold the dowels I use for stirring finishes.
