Index finger and spray paint = new technique

Hello,
Warning, here is how to get a numb index finger. I decided to spray paint some items I have been making in my workshop for my grand daughters. I went through about 3 cans of spray paint. I woke up a few days later and my right index finger tip was numb from pressing the paint can nozzle. Yes indeedy my bass plucking finger tip was numb. 3 weeks later it is 90% healed but still the very tip is a little numb.

I had to use a pick or a new fingering technique with only my middle and ring finger. I guess a misplaced hammer hitting a finger could do the same thing!

Regarding your posts about ’spray paint numbness’, I’m Ken Becker and I've just invented an evolutionary new CAN-GUN1 Spray Can Tool that TOTALLY eliminates the numb spray paint finger syndrome!!!

I’ve been told that our new CAN-GUN1 is: ‘The best thing since the aerosol can!” Take a quick peak at the blog page of my website here: http://www.cangun1.com/blog to see what all the excitement is about.

My new product, now avail. at or thru Ace Hardware (Ace Item # 1390657) nationwide (via their Ace Net system if they don't have it in stock for a sugg. retail price of $3.99 was designed and is Made In The USA from 80% recycled plastic and carries our exclusive Lifetime Warranty.

Due to the Double Leverage action and world's first FullGrip Trigger, CAN-GUN1 requires, and this is NOT a type, 1/128th (that's one, one hundred and twenty eighth! the amount of pressure per square inch compared to a standard spray can and up to 1/512th the amount pressure per square inch compared to either of Rust-Oleum's made in china, no warranty items, the 'premium' version of which, creatively named "Comfort Grip" costs 63% more that my new CAN-GUN1!

So, I invite you to experience:

Less Pressure & More Spraying Pleasure with CAN-GUN1.

Thanks for this space and I hope your finger(s) is feel well again!
