Thinner Bucket with Screen

Kept the screen - tossed the plastic bucket. Would have kept the bucket, but frankly I found the lid a bit difficult to take off and replace. I was after the screen, that was what I wanted. Did not find the screen as a stand alone purchase till later. Nothing wrong at all, I just not a fan of plastic, especially one with a tough lid.

With some odorless thinner this bucket is a game changer. Combine it with a brush beater rack in a little trash can and your emulating Bob Ross. I bought a different brush cleaner bucket it was completely useless for cleaning brushes. Now I use it to store my 37 ml paint tubes which is a happy accident. The Bob Ross cleaning bucket has a wire mesh raised screen in the bottom that you gently rub your brush on. It let's the paint settle to the bottom and keeps your odorless thinner fairly clean. Every now and then I just strain my thinner through a couple paper towels, I pour it into the bucket I use as a paint tube holder. Afterwards I wipe out the bottom of the bucket and pour my clean thinner back into the Bob Ross cleaner bucket. I have had the same thinner for four months now. Bob Ross says thinner doesn't go bad so if you stay on top of it your thinner can last quite a while.

This product is a game changer for me. I dislike having to clean brushes at the best of times however this item is just what I needed. Makes cleaning those larger brushes (1", 2" and larger) so much easier and more efficient. Should have bought it years ago rather than settling for large wide jars!!!Great product and so much easier to manage and clean. Perhaps a bit pricier to be fair, though I dont see many products around (if any) that are competitive.Happy to recommend this product to others.

It’s very small. Not practical for banging your 2” brunch. Works great for smaller brushes. The handle doesn’t get it of the way well to open.

I didn’t buy this sooner because of the bad reviews. In my opinion don’t pay attention to those bad reviews. I’m an oil painter with a small studio setup and use odorless mineral spirits (OMS)to clean my brushes. In the past I’ve used smaller stainless steel and glass containers with coils or screens and had problems with the size. I LOVE the size of this bucket; it holds more OMS making it easier to clean larger brushes, the screen has more surface to clean the brushes, my long handled brushes don’t fall out, I don’t have to clean the paint sludge from the bottom as often, and I can put the lid on the bucket and store my OMS for my next session. I am very happy with this purchase.

Works well keeps oaint in bucket

Great little bucket with a screen in the bottom

Smaller than expected

Très bien conçue

Conforme à mes attente , super produit. Je recommande vivement

It is really a little thin and soft as others have said.I keep paint thinner in it for about a month now. No leaks. No self-disintegration.The thinner not being turpentine.I still keep it inside a metal case. You never know. But so far - all is well.The grid does move around the bottom a little. But at the end of the day that isn't actually a problem.It acts as screen regardless.For removing the lid: The bucket as a little plastic nose at the side. Similar to those you might find on plastic mustard cups from the super market. It keeps the lid in place. You have to remove that nose and then you can get the lid off in a normal fashion. And back on, of course. So far no issues with loose fit.Size: If you put in a liter of paint thinner in the bucket (that's round about 34 fl.oz) it will submerge the metal grid about 3-4 cm in thinner. That's about 1.2 inches.Basically perfect for cleaning your brushes without spilling the stuff everywhere.You can properly clean that big 2 inch brush in the bucket. It offers enough room.End of the day: If you don't fancy collecting parts to make your own bucket with a grid inside because you're lazy, like I am, this is a good option.

This bucket is just what I needed to clean my 2 inch and round brushes quickly and properly. Much better than the little one I have been making-do with.I use the Bob Ross odourless thinners, enough above the screen at the bottom for the bristles of a 2 inch to be covered.Then for a great finish I use a Bob Ross brush drying rack.......cleaning up is so much easier and quicker now.I keep the lid on my bucket when not actually using it to stop evaporation.

È un semplice secchio. Ne più ne meno. Per giunta piuttosto piccolo, ogni volta che si scuotono i pennelli per pulirli l’acqua schizza fuori. Non lo ricomprerei. Non a questa cifra.
