Spray Bottle Holders

[eriksalo]

Seems I can never find my spray bottle of Simple Green.

I got a second bottle, then a third. Then they were always in the way. Then I ran out of WD-40 spray one day and bought a gallon instead of an aerosol can. It got mixed up with the others and I greased when I meant to de-grease. Finally, I decided to organize.

I made two spray bottle holders. One holds 6-7 bottles and the other 2-3. The bottles are from the horse section at my local farm store. Have been using these for fly spray and the like, some more than 10 years old and still going strong.

The cross member is 1" diameter copper tubing (left over from something) and the ends are 1" thick Oak made from scraps. I welded two studs to the undersides of the metal welding tables (one of them has a removable MDF top but is metal plate underneath).

Potions are: Small one: Simple Green Yellow (smells better) 50/50 mix, WD-40 and Windex. Large one: Simple Green Yellow, WD-40, Windex, Meguiar's All purpose Cleaner (APC) 10:1, APC 4:1 and Lacquer thinner.

From what I know, WD-40 does degrease.

I'm surprised the spray bottles stand up to lacquer thinner. How long has that been in there?

Great idea thank's

I'd be curious on that also.



I keep my spray bottles in a cabinet but there is a closet rod in the kitchen pantry (in the house) that holds the spray bottles.

Honestly, I've been thinking about making one to hold some cleaning spray bottles at the FD.

Hey, great idea and didn't cost much at all.

Looks great. For a dummy like me, I just bought a $1.99 towel holder bar, mounted it to the ceiling, and I was golden.

Agreed, seems like a cheap paper towel holder would do the same for anyone looking for a simpler solution. Although yours does look great!

Lacquer thinner has been in the bottle for a couple of months. I'll go look at the bottle and see if it's melting it!

I was not aware you could buy WD40 in anything but aerosol cans. I just threw away one of the gigantic aerosol cans of WD40 because it ran out of aerosol. You could still feel the can was almost full, but no squirty-squirty. I should have figured out a way to empty it if knew this could be done. Nice work on the holder.

You can get WD-40 in gallon cans at Home Depot/Lowes.

I had same problem. Drill a hole in the dead can and poured contents in a new bottle, solved that.

Very nice and much classier looking than the cheapy towel bars I use.

I use a 5 gal. bucket. Bottle goes inside and trigger hangs on the rim. If a bottle leaks, it's collected in the bucket.
