Washing full sprues of parts

[BUCKY]

Here's one idea for clips:

I have also seen some sticks that have a tacky substance on the end that would hold parts while they are being sprayed, but I can't seem to find them at the moment on the web.

if ou use a Styrofoam block, you may want to glue some heavy washers to the bottom. sometimes when you load it up with parts dangling in the air, it tends to not want to stay upright. if you weigh down the block, you will have no problems.

That's a thought.

I have never really had this issue as most of the time, I only paint small parts this way.

But I have nearly knocked it over before by bumping it.

You can remove a lot of the possibility of knocking it over by simply using short sticks, but weighting it somehow is not a bad idea.

Possibly even gluing it down to a 3/4 inch piece of plywood would give the base plenty of weight.

I saw those while I was searching. I almost bought those but it was 20 clips versus 30 clips and the 20 costs twice as much as the 30. That's some more of that frugal stuff.😂

The cost difference may be due to the rubber tips being in place on the clips.
