I have noticed that the pumps in the commercial products (rather than the

The thing is I would like to be able to find a source for spray / squirt

Gack.

I've got a WD-40 sprayer that cam with a gallon tin of the stuff that
has been working for probably 15 years.
(Holy crap, I've had that thing 15 years?)
