WD-40 New Can
I bought a new can of wd-40 at walmart and paid the big bucks to get a
can with a built in straw. I've been losing the straw from those cans for 20 years and now that is over. |

Think of how many aerosol cans you've purchased over the years and compare that to the price of a gallon (~$15) and a couple of $4 spray bottles. And no straw to lose, ever! |

And it's impossible to buy new straws because WD-40 bought them all up and would rather have you keep buying product to get a new straw. I don't like those new built in straw cans. Shoulda saved the old ones. :-) |

Save the straws from all straw-equipped cans. Likewise save the nozzles from all spray cans. There will come a time when the nozzle of your current compound won't work. |

Go to Wal-Mart and get all the WD40 straws you want. They're on all the cans. |

I used a gallon of WD40 but found that the aerosol was just a lot handier. I had plastic 2 bottles and both broke long before the gallon was up. I picked up a metal spray can for some PB blaster that I have in stock now. The damn thing doesn't spray all that well- and it seems to leak if the barometric pressure or temperature changes a little bit. There's a reason aerosol cans are popular. Jim You can buy refillable, rechargable, air powered cans that have a schrader valve in the bottom. They are made of metal and work quite well. Just put in some of whatever liquid you want to spray, screw on the top, hit the valve with a quick blast from your compressor hose and you're good to go. |

I've been losing the straw from those cans for 20 years and now that is over. Huge problem always for me. I always have WD-40, rarely the damn straw though. There must be a way to get straws though? How about this idea? When you get a new can, cut the straw in two pieces and then tape the other half of the straw on the opposite side of the can from where the first piece is taped. At least that would double the life of the straw. I solved that problem by getting (free) a gross of straws ;) Free men own guns - www(dot)geocities(dot)com/CapitolHill/5357/ |

I put a thick runner band on the can to hold the straw when not in use. Or you can fasten a empty pen barrel to the can to hold the straw. |
