We all have those spray cans of lube, brake cleaner, electric contact
cleaner, WD-40, right?  And they all come from the stores with those neat
little tubes that direct the spray into a small concentrated stream, usually
taped onto the can.  Often very handy  to keep from messing up surfaces
surrounding where the______ liquid need to go.  But if you are like me,
those tubes get lost PDQ after the spray can comes home with me.  And then I
am always trying one from another can of different stuff (if I can find even
one) and the "maybe this is the same size tube"  never fits properly into
the spray can head.   It gets the_____all over your hands as you try to MAKE
it fit and you (me) spray the____on your fingers.
  Well, a new discovery is that a zip tie around the can, if you snug it up
tight using some pliers, will hold the little pipe against the can, just
like the tape that held it there in the store.  No more rotten rubber bands
breaking, half stuck tape..etc etc.  Just put a zip tie round the can (or
two connected) and slip the tube thingy into the space left at the 'cinch'
of the zip tie.  No more lost pipey-thingies..
