? about cups for using in fluid bed, on the bottom

of the cups, what do most of you use, is it coffee filters, brown paper bag or vacumn cleaner bags or filters ? also when you glue your bottom on the cup, do you trim off access or do you leave it on ? do you guys leave your powder paint in the cups all the time ? Just got my cups cut and now getting ready to put the bottom on them.


Sorry for all the questions, this is my first attempt at making a fluid bed :confused:




Thanks

I use the coffee filters and spread a very thin layer of silicone to bottom of cup place the cup in the center of coffee filter and put a weighted object on top of cup to get a good bond. After a hour or so I will trim filter close to the diameter of cup. I also leave powder inside of cup. Never had any filter break!! If you are using 2" PVC for your cups you can also get the test caps for these that fit perfect.
