USE SPRAY CAN PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY DIE
November 11th 2009 22:33
Ever notice that those rather pricey products you purchase
in spray cans, use once or twice, then place on a storage
shelf tend to be dead when you need them a third time?
While more environmentally friendly products are better
to use when possible, these days, items we need like
touch up paint for your car or sealants of various varieties
seem to only come in spray can offerings on retail shelves.
What can the frugal consumer do to avoid wasting product?
Let's face it, when a spray can product loses it's propellant,
it's done, finished, bye bye expensive stuff remaining in the
can.
Well, here's one way to maximize the use of spray can products:
plan ahead. Say for instance you need to spray paint one item
around your home and you anticipate that it won't take a full small
can.
Look around your home. What other items could benefit from
being spray painted at the same time?
Perhaps that BBQ grill is started to rust out in spots. Would that
left over spray paint help to combat rust and prolong useful life
of your beloved backyard barbie unit?
Bottomline: don't expect any spray can product to, well, spray more
than once or twice before it meets its early demise.
