When did you use one (if ever) & what for?

In the light of yet another monument vandalised ( fender's thread; Police Memorial Vandalised), and considering the damage done everywhere in the manner of destruction and graffiti.

Wouldn't the World be better off without these products ?

They are used frequently to spray toy soldiers and tanks etc for his hobby, I have used them to tidy up the paint work on battered garden furniture and also my car.

If they didn't have aerosols they wold find another way to do damage if that is their intent. 

Not sure withdrawing useful items from the general public is the answer to vandalism.

 

Spraying bikes and cars.

Whenever the word "aerosol" is mentioned, I can't help but think of this ...

... and in the context of the OP, you can see it's a fitting word.

I used one last Thursday to cover some staining on the shower room ceiling.

Not a bad job as it turned out but a lot more expensive than the last time I did it.

As Doug suggests, stain block comes in aerosols. Which is a very good thing as it is a devil to remove from paintbrushes if used to apply stain block.

Br fair.If Khandro wants to ban aerosols, why shouldn't he get his way. I think we should only allow oil paint and hogs' bristle brushes.

Sprayed my gate, car, fence, and fingers.

Atheist opines; "Br fair.If Khandro wants to ban aerosols, why shouldn't he get his way. I think we should only allow oil paint and hogs' bristle brushes."

If it was only so. Compare the simplicity of a (probably stolen) spray can in the pocket and a mindless 5 second dash and spray on a wall, with the carrying of a tin of paint, a screwdriver to open it, and the use of a brush, replacing the lid on the tin & then what do you do with the paint-soaked brush? wouldn't  the problem, if not eliminated, be considerably reduced ?

Sans spray cans, the toy soldiers and gates would get painted with their coat of paint by another traditional method, and the environment would be better off for it.

Some mindless little twa t has sprayed an illegible tag (is it called?) on the my village railway station, ex-station master's ticket office and once home. Probably late 19th cent. built of cut local stone which is very porous, with blue paint.

The War Office in London, which is built of porous Portland stone was tagged last year by a 'peace warrior'  which costed the taxpayers thousands of pounds for specialists to remove it.

I say, 'Ban the Aerosols and sod the toy soldiers !"   

 

 

 

I see there have been several stabbings recently.

Destroy all knives and let folk tear stuff apart with bare hands.

If you wanted to, paint could be poured into a pump sprayer.

It would be less conspicuous but it would do the job.

There are any number of items that could be refreshed or repairs disguised with aerosol paint sprays and banning them would be an over-reaction.

Dont need to spray it, just a paint brsuh would do.

I use spray cans for small things like rads, larger jobs I do use the compresser and gun.
