    I watched the comparison video also. He got some nice results from the paper bag.

    Go right here and spend a couple of bucks for a cup with membrane already installed. Used the brown bags and they worked good but no comparison to these cups. Poke a hole in the bag and you got a real mess. That air filter can't hurt but I have never had a problem and it is pretty humid around here.

    Hi, Is the filter replaceable or permanent? How do you replace it if it is replaceable? Where can you get extra filters? How long does a filter last? Thanks...

    No need to replace. They are permanent, glued in. Just dump powder out into jar. I turn up side down and tap on little work table to get residue out. Reload and go. I have a shop with air compressor so every once in awhile I will blow a little higher pressure air from bottom out. Really not necessary just something I do. Main thing is no oil or grease on it. Moisture will stop it up until it dries out.

    Thanks, getting those cups seems like the way to go. What size pvc pipe (width and length) do they fit into. I'm thinking of building the base myself. I'm wondering, if the air pump has an airflow control on it, why to you need another one?

    Not a very good picture. But it's no more than a 1 1/2 in coupling with a hole drilled in the side above filter and silicone D or glued in. I use mainly 1 1/2 in cups. But you can get the 2 in and do the same thing with a 2 in coupling. You just push the cup in as you twist it to get it to seal. Use a aquarium air pump to power it. Just a cheap one will do.

    Thanks for all the info, but since my mind is like a sieve, can you give me those powder paint colors again?
