Post by Jake79 »

Hi All

I have a set of mig oils can I make filters from these, I seem to go through filters so quickly, I thought would be alot cheaper if I could make from the oils by simply adding thinners??





cheers

Spot on, filters are just heavily thinned oils.

The slightly more tricky part is getting the best colour for your filter. Artists oils area good bet
