[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

Thanks for the tip, I usually just put the nozzle in the jar and make a mess, this looks alot better than my current method will give this a try, thanks again brother

Thanks Jason and thanks for watching. Hope this can work for you.

[@redbarnmodelworks1115]

Thx for the tip… I used the plastic droppers and cut the of the bulb off so it has a natural curve to wrap around the spray nozzle! But this way seems way better ! Thanks for sharing ~Don

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

I have used the droppers, but I like this better. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Micheal and thanks for watching.

[@pasmodelworkbench4981]

Thanks Skip, I have sprayed paint straight into a cup before, this method is a lot cleaner, I'll try this in the future.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Sure thing Mike. Hope it helps out.

[@FlokisModels]

This is a great idea! I will have to try it next time I decant some paint.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Thank you Floki, hope it does the trick for you.

Cool tutorial video skip!

Thank you Shawn.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Very good tip, Skip. I have tried it once with some primer and a tube out of a old spray can while it did come out in a controllable manner I had issues spraying it in my airbrush... 😥 I let it set open for a hour and set the lid on the jar and it popped the lid off and primer was boiling out of the jar. Have not tried it anymore.. LLAP 🖖 BTW I subbed too. Stop by some time and 👋

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Yeah allowing for the expansion and bubbling can be a learning curve with this. Thanks and thank you for the sub, I'll drop by soon.

[@HobbyBarn]

Great tip Skip. My air hose for my oxygen machine is about the same size I will have to see if it will work. Have a great weekend my friend. Terry

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

LOL Terry and thanks. Don't use too much of that tubing, we need you to keep breathing buddy.

[@HobbyBarn]

@@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774 LOL, yeah, use a new one every 2 weeks so, I won't run out of them anytime soon. lol

[@plasticbuzzardmodelshop9715]

I've never decanted paint before. But I'll keep this in mind if I decide to give it a try. Thanks for the info.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Any time Thomas. Thanks for watching.

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Very useful and handy tip bro thanks for the tip ill definitly use that in the future specially wen i buy the 2 tone color purple green can they have out or for midnight purple in general ive no way getting it unless i buy closest color they got in Tamiya spray so useful tip buddy thank you, 👍Keith

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Cool, this should work pretty good for you.

[@hobbytimewithpapadan8436]

Great tip thank you. I usually avoid de-canting paint because of the mess I make but I’ll give this a shot. Papadan

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Thank you PapaDan. Hope you try it and it works for you.

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

I'll have to try this method. I usually use a large pipette with an x cut into the bulb to accommodate the spray nozzle. Downside, it's straight and not really bendy without causing a mess.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

I thought about using a pipette, cutting off the bulb and cutting the tip to where it would be the size of the Tamiya nozzle, but I like the idea of being able to bend it 90 degrees. Hope you try the tubing and it works out for you. Thanks for watching.

[@rayvonandes]

Let me ask one question. If I wanted to completely empty my spray can, why couldn't I turn the can upside-down, depress the nozzle until the propelant is all used up, poke a hole in the top of the can. Let the can de-gas for a day, then open the can and empty out the paint.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

You could do that but might be a little messier. Thanks for watching and commenting.

My pleasure Larry. Thanks for dropping in and watching.

[@BennyCFD]

It's cheaper and easier just to spend a couple of buck on Amazon for flex strays and cut it to size and tape it to the nozzle.......Cheap, easy, and it works.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Never had much luck with that, but do what works for you. Thanks for watching.

[@downthethroatmodeling]

Great tip Skip.. I just had a straw "blow out" a couple of weeks ago😁👌👍

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Thanks Rick. Don't you just hate when that happens?

[@pretzelogic2689]

I didn't see any decanting going on.😁

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

To keep from having an X rating for the video, you can't show the actual act of "decanting" :) Thanks for watching.

[@gutz323]

This is an obolite idea in the UK. Plastic straws are now illegal.

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

There are some cities here in the U.S. that have ordinances on straws now too, but trying to find the right size straw is always a challenge so I found the tubing from the hardware supply to be more consistent and readily available.
