I just go with the paper towels because they are closer and I don't have to go search out the right sized coupler!<br />Maybe I should just make up a set of couplers just for painting use.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-5487945975321706912016-12-09T21:50:29.215-05:002016-12-09T21:50:29.215-05:00This is such a cool rocket!

I have enough scrap bits of tube and coupler that I use for stuff like this over and over again, and sometimes I find it easier than stuffing in paper towels.The Rocket N00bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235411077821163466noreply@blogger.com
