It's only for holding skirting boards to the wall, so not really a
tough job.

I also discovered that drinking straws can be used as a nozzle for this

is more than one diameter for these things.


Plastic drinking straws ! I've just signed a petition against plastic drinking straws.


How high do you think they are on the list of the planet's biggest problems?


Judging by the way they wash up beaches and are ingested by marine life,
I think they belong in the top 10, along with all forms of plastic waste
(teabags, coffee cups, sandwich cartons, cook-chill food trays).
