[Anonymous No.753044]

Use a Capri sun straw once you lose the first one

[Anonymous No.753047]

Would it be possible to take the WD-40 style head and put it on an similar sized can? Just hypothetical, since I'm not OP, but just saying, that's how WD-40 solved that problem.

[Anonymous No.753049]

>>753047
seems like it would be a lot of trouble for something so simple. also possibly dangerous depending on what is in the can.

[Anonymous No.753059]

i just lose the straw.. then when I need to lube something I spray the whole area with about 10 times the amount of lube I'd probably need if I still had the straw to direct it..

[Anonymous No.753064]

>>753059
My experience is really only with WD-40, but I find that with liquids in an aerosol can like these, I'm the opposite. I'm more conservative when I use the straw, I make less of a mess, and I feel like it uses less propellant, so you can use more of the liquid, instead of having a useless spray can with some liquid and no gas.

[Anonymous No.753065]

>>753049
Huh? I'm not sure how that anon's suggestion could be anything dangerous, I also don't understand why anyone would have reason to do his suggestion so I'm probably misreading it. Hipster spray paints often come with multiple nozzles with different spray patterns, so putting another can's nozzle generally works perfectly.

I personally just leave the straw in the nozzle for storage if it doesn't have a place for it in the cap.

Pic related, put one around the can, tuck straw underneath when finished with, problem solved.

You can use any colour you like.

First you buy a piece of land, any size will do as long as it fits a small shed. Then you design a shed that could block out rain and sunlight, actually consult local codes to build a good quality small shed that matches the quality of a house. Paint it red in and out so as to make people aware that it is a high security storage, and to keep out foxes. Then build a chair and desk to fit inside the shed, they should be made using steel bars welded together, so you will have to get some welding tools. You might want to practice welding by building a racing car engine first though.

Now you have a shed, and a very basic work place with a chair you can sit in, and a desk to work on. You have to sit here continuously for several years to achieve the meditative state that is required to build the perfect storage for the holy plastic tube. You need to get a container, and park it outside the shed, for whenever you have to use the spray can with the tube. There is no point to make a storage for a tube without a place to use it.

Now you can either create a stationary altar to house the tube, or something that can be carried with you, this is up to your personal preference. To make an altar, get some zip ties and slowly connect each other into a very big net, and then hang this sheet of net in the middle of your shed, behind your desk. In the middle of the zip tie net, you should be able to find a zip tie. You can now use the hole in this zip tie to hang a small cotton thread the length of your foreskin. At the end of this thread, make a little knot and tie a hook over it. Now you can insert the tube into the thread, and then use the hook to hook the thread onto the net, and now you will be able to spot the tube easily and you will never lose sight of it.

If you want a carry case, get a brass rod the diameter slightly bigger than the tube, then cut to slightly bigger than the tube itself. Use blow torch to melt some solder to one end to seal it. Then insert (cont)

(cont)

Then insert the rod into your anus. You can now insert the tube into that brass rod that is secured into your anus, which now you can carry with you every time, and you can never lose it because you can feet it tickle you if you have it in you. If you loose it, you will notice immediately.

There you go, hope you make the tube a happy tube and give it a nice home to store it.

Get an aluminum cigar tube and glue a neodymium magnet inside, stick to side of can.

[Anonymous No.753323]

Got the same problem. My answer-to-be: make a tube out of and stick it to a magnet on the wall.

Fuck rubber bands, fuck tape. Both will degrade over time.

Drill holes in the lid and insert the tube. Make sure the holes are not quite opposite each other (so instead of holes at 0* and 180*, maybe go 0 and 165), this will impart a slight curve on the tube, holding it firm. Drilling holes that are a poofteenth smaller than the tube will help hold it in as well.

You're welcome.

It's a rubber fucking band they last years.

Is probably the most autistic/ocd thing i've heard for holding a straw in place, so instead of just using a rubber fucking band, I have to fuck around with drills and bits like you did instead of just using a rubber fucking band which last years.

Jesus Christ I bet you're a fucking engineer or something.

Good day.

What kind of casual are you that you can't drill two holes in a cap in less than 30 seconds?

Oh by the way, rubber bands tend to dry out, crack, and fall apart after just months in a shop, and, in my experience, not much longer than that in a more favorable environment. I don't know where you're getting "years".

Jesus titty fucking christ.. Are you mad that you have spent an entire thread samefagging "HURR RUBAR BEND" and the this guy comes along and blows your shit right out of the fucking water? Or are you just angry because you are too basic to understand that a tube under flexation will hold itself in place wit no need for other fastening?

Fuck off back to /b/ you god damn child.

Just use a silicone band.

You can buy them for a lot of money as hairbands, or for no money at all as children's "loom bands".

Hey OP. Been lurking /diy for years, rarely post. I use wd-40 and a lighter to immitate a dragon. use one of these newspaper holders maybe?

[Anonymous No.755433]

Next time you buy an aerosol can find one that has the holder moulded into the top of the lid and simply do the old switcharoo at the store so you have the correct thing for the job.

[Anonymous No.755584]

Some have these holes in the upper-back arc of the nozzle in which the straw fits quite well in. Whether it's on purpose, or something else entirely, who knows. But it fits.
