Abstract
A process and apparatus for the application of aqueous paints. The paint is supplied in a flexible container compressible by an adjacent inflatable bag. Paint travels from the container via a long delivery tube to a brush, roller or pad applicator. The container is compressed horizontally by means of a foldable base when compressed by the inflatable bag. The length of the tube is 1 to 3 m, and the inner diameter of the tube is 5 to 15 mm, to provide a steady delivery of paint to the applicator.
