Finding uses for spray paint can lids
« on: January 17, 2021, 10:49:52 am »
When you have used up a can of spray paint, save the lid! They can be used in a variety of ways. My work bench is covered in them.

A few possible applications:

    * Storage of small items - loose kit parts, electronic components, fish plates, track pins, etc.
    * Dispensers for track ballast and diorama ground cover material. They are absolutely ideal for this - just the right size and shape, and much easier to handle than spoons or commercially available applicators.
    * Mixing pots for glue, paint, scatter material or anything else that needs to be mixed.
    * Holder for syringe, pipette or what ever you are using to apply glue to ballast, and use another one for the glue itself.
    * Holder for Superglue bottles, etc., to stop them falling over.

I am sure you can think of many more uses!
