I have an old plastic tub type capping tank. I don't remember where I bought it. Anyway, the metal strainer at the bottom has disappeared in a move. What could I use instead? It kinda looked like a queen excluder with the sides bent to raise it up from laying flat at the bottom. Any suggestions?

I made one with a 1 1/2'' cypress frame. I stood the wood up so i had 11/2'' clearance from the bottom and used 1/4 ss expanding metal cut to fit to cover it. Hope this helps.
