ARE YOU SICK of Your Spray Can Straws FLYING OFF? Well Here is The Remedy To That!

Introduction

If you’ve ever struggled with the straws popping out of your spray cans, you're not alone. Many of us, including Mr. Noall, face this annoying issue regularly, particularly when using dry lubes. When you buy in bulk, like by the case, it’s certainly more cost-effective, but the frustration of losing those straws often overshadows the savings.

The Problem with Spray Can Straws

One common problem with spray can straws is that they easily come out during use. They seem to have a magical ability to launch themselves off into "distant foreign lands," making them incredibly hard to locate. This becomes especially troublesome when you're in a tight spot, trying to spray into confined spaces.

A Simple Solution

There is a solution, however—using longer straws! These straws are surprisingly more effective for reaching awkward areas and have the added benefit of being available in coiled options. By cutting a 3-foot piece from the coil, you can easily extend your reach. While one person operates the can, another can guide the straw precisely where it needs to go.

Tools and Tips

If you want to keep those straws securely attached to your spray cans, we recommend two specific types of glue that work wonders. Silicone glue can do the trick, but be mindful that the straws are made of hard plastic, which can sometimes lead to them coming loose.

In the video, Mr. Noall provides detailed instructions on how to apply the glue:

Put a small drop of glue at the end of the straw.
Ensure the glue doesn’t enter the hole of the straw.
Twist the straw onto the spray can to secure it.
Tip the can up so the glue runs down along the straw.
Use a UV light to cure the glue—usually, five seconds is sufficient for a solid bond.

By ensuring a tight fit and proper application, you can eliminate the problem of straws popping out, which will save you time and hassle.

Conclusion

With these tips in mind, you’re well-equipped to overcome the troublesome issue of stray spray can straws. Whether you're hard at work or just tackling a weekend project, these suggestions should make your tasks a little smoother. Happy Labor Day to all the hardworking individuals out there!
