Eye cleaning

[hobo]

what do you use to clean paint out of eye

[cootpatrol]

Mig welding wire and a propane torch for powder paint and a little cheap jig eye cleaner from the fishing dept of pretty much any store for vinyl paint

I don't get paint in eye. Hold hook eye with plyers when dunking in powder paint. Comes out with no paint on eye. Just make sure you don't heat plyers in heat source or else paint will stick to them.

Curved tip Forceps, clamp over eye like Nip does with pliers. I'll dip it and then clean what little residue there is around eye with small pocket knife. Just takes practice either way. I have used pliers but I like the forceps better cause they lock.

End result when done this way. The plyers I use are curved as well.

CTom what kind of plyers are them

[CTom]

They're surgical towel clips. Sharper than all get out and cleans eyes in a jiff. If you know anyone who works in surgery ask them to check the discard bins for these. Handier than heck. I was working a large distributor show in St. Cloud Minnesota and one of the vendors had these as a sale item. He gave me a couple to use.

I have an old pair of needle nose pliers that have very smooth jaws, a little squeeze and pull and most clean right off. But those Surgical towel clips look really cool. Gonna have to talk to my nephew who's a PA maybe he can get me a few pairs!!

They're quick and easy. No need to bear down on them as they pop the hardest of powder paint very easily.
