Trimaco 11213 SuperTuff Regular Mesh/Elastic Top Bag Paint Strainers, 2 Gallon, (25-Pack)

I bought these to make aerated compost tea. Works great.

Using for straining debris from clogging tiny drainage holes in a grow tower. Saves time when watering.

This product had no odor before opening the plastic packaging. But whew! As soon as I opened the plastic bag I was overwhelmed by the strong, stinky fragrance--eyes stinging, sinus irritation, lungs started to feel tight. I immediately threw the mesh filters outside. I was so disappointed. My thoughts were: Why are they scenting mesh filters for straining paint? The composition of the mesh must be super toxic and stinky if they felt they needed to add toxic, synthethic fragrance as a cover up?! What to do 🤔I decided to soak the mesh filters in white vinegar water, a 50/50 solution. The filters soaked for a day, fully immersed in the solution. I did not care if the filters held up or not. There is no way I could use them smelly, off-gassing and making me sick. (Also, would the scent from the mesh contaminate my $80 a gallon, No-VOC paint as it strained and make the paint scented?). After the soak, the mesh did not smell. I rinsed the filters thoroughly 2 times, then put them in the sun to dry. I did that to see if the smell would come back as much as to dry them.All was okay, no more scent. Too, the mesh filter worked well to strain particles (a failed no-shed roller actually shed into the paint).

Was purchased to fit over my Greenstalk Planter watering tier and the elastic was too tight. Might fit a 5 gallon bucket...maybe.

I was having trouble getting small debris out of my pool, so I needed a finer mesh than a typical pool net. This worked great!!!! I just put it around my regular pool net and it was picking up MUCH smaller particles.

I used these for my grains when home brewing. I pull them outta bag and soak in container of hot water with a little IO-STAR Sanitizer for about 15 minutes and then rinse in cold water and soak in cold water for another 20-30 minutes. Rinse again prior to use and you are good. Make sure to keep suspended away from the bottom of the pot during heat use !

These are pretty good strainer bags. They hold firm on the bucket with an elastic band. I used it to save a old 5 gallon bucket of flat white latex wall paint. I figure it was worth the short money I paid to save the larger sum of cash I would’ve had to put out to put two coats of paint on the walls. I mean the product is cheap and it helps you save cash and bring back old latex paint from the chunky state. I’d say that’s a win for sure.

Seem good quality for money but be warned they take a very long time to arrive hence the four stars.

These are very good for holding hops when brewing beer (boiling the wort). They are a good size and easy to clean. Hop additions are easy to make throughout the boil. They are sent from USA so take a bit longer than usual to arrive.
