Guest promodmerc Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) What cloth do I need to look for that is lint free? I know hand towels & the like are not the answer Edit: Just realized I forgot to mention I'm wanting this to wipe down bodies before painting.

I used these for years to wipe photo negatives before printing and have found they work well on models. You can purchase these online, or at any photo supply store (If any still exist).

I use an Anti-static Cleaning Cloth. It works great since static-cling is notoriously one of our worst enemies when it comes to preparing a model for painting; especially during the winter months, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not dry them off with cloth. Jack your regulator up to the hundred psi. mark and blow them dry with filtered air . No lint , no dirt , no fuss , no muss ! Using cloth to dry your cars off is only inviting Murphy into the equation. Just a suggestion . Donn Yost Lone Wolf Custom Painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
