does everyone or anyone filter /sieve their paint before ,? im getting a bit of trouble with the sprayer filter blocking with a film /skin of paints or bits of it ,no tip blocking up but just the prefilter (using a 60 mesh one with a 14 thou FFLP tip and i dont filter the paint before , just wondering if even pouring it over a fairly coarse sieve before would help :unsure:

when I painted the sheds with a Wagner sprayer, I mixed/thinned the paint, then poured it through a kitchen sieve before spraying it on

thats what i will try i think, i dont want the faff of very fine filtering but i need to do something.
its quick drying paint which doesnt help i think as a skin can soon form when a tin is opened....
