Hi,
This is 4x6.5 in. using two 1/8 coffee measure cups. The pallet is plastic.
Striper Mike Shartell of Victorville, Ca. had a simililar one. It can be held level very easy. For both striping and general painting. Plastic shot measure fits nice and a 3 oz. dixie cup can be squeased in.
I also use a shear nylon paint strainer bag pulled over my fingers when I'm doing long lines. The guy who gave me these could'nt remember where he got them and I could'nt locate any on the web.
One could be made from women's stockings. This works great! Nice slip.

Best one that I have seen is the "Pro Pallet" that Rob makes:

[For Your Information]

I loved Rob's pro-pallet 'cept for one tiny thing . . . sometimes dipping in the paint caused the very light, little med. dose cup to lift out of the container hole drilled in the pallet.

Think I'd just need to bore them out so the cup sits deeper. [Wink]

Hi,
Well,this small pallet is much easier to handle.

Joey- I suppose you got a kick out of my Super Glide Glove!

I use Rob's pro pallet, too, & I like it! You are right, tho, Sheila, sometimes when i catch a sticky part of the inside of the cup, it lifts the cup out of the hole.

Edited to add... Where can you buy extra cups for the pro pallet? My son's friend's mom is a nurse & gave him some for his tattoo shop, & he gave me some, but i am almost out of them again.
