ABSTRACT:
A device providing an improved method for the storage and releasable attachment of a focusing straw onto an aerosol can. In a preferred embodiment, the device is a commercially available cable-tie, modified to provide a releasable attachment and reliable storage of a focusing straw onto an aerosol can. A method of the present invention allows a user to modify an existing cable-tie to provide releasable attachment of a focusing straw onto an aerosol can or other item. The availability and subsequent use of a focusing straw often reduces aerosol over-spray and the resultant air borne contamination. Use of the present invention has, in some cases, reduced the consumption of aerosol spray oil by 30%.
