Filter sock/Roller Mat substitute...

[Dom]

I have a cost-saving suggestion that some may appreciate. It isn't "industry standard" but effective.

Roller mat systems are nice as they add automation. But is that automation worth the price of a roller mat system?

I recently suggested that white felt from a local craft store would do the same job. Have a look...

Below is a fresh 12"x12" felt sheet I picked up from the hobby shop. When Buying them in packages of 24, they come to about .16 cents per sheet. I use white because I don't want dye in the tank.



This is the fresh sheet in place...


And this is the sheet after 1 week.


Sure looks like its doing a good job to me!

Yes, the automation is worth the price of admission (for some of us anyway). Most fleece rollers have very high filtration, ie: <50 microns - so that's worth considering.
