Quilting Grandma

I just had a "light bulb" moment. I was ready to spray baste with a large can of 505 spray. I could not hold on to the can and press the button. (Old age arthritis). Voila---- a rubber band from broccoli makes a wonderful gripper. No more problems using the spray. Hope this helps someone. Jan

What. Good idea. My problem is sustained pressing. I do it in small sections.

They make handles for spray paint cans that should work for pressing the button. You squeeze instead of push down.

I tried one of these, but it must have been defective as it sprayed more paint on my hand than it got on the door I was trying to paint.

These are dandy things! It makes all types of aerosol sprays easier to use.

Do you get the things that fit on an aerosol can in the paint dept at Wal-Mart or do you need to go to a "high-end" paint store?

Zinda, mine came from Walmart. We don't have a paint store for at least 50 miles.

I don't think you have to go to a 'paint' store, Lowe's, Home Depot, True Value or even try a auto parts store.

Like most things in our world there are 'the cheap stuff' and the Good Stuff.

I think I got my spray can trigger at the $store a few years ago.
