I think that you have hit on the only logical reason. When they crimp the top cap on the can it has to have the pickup tube already attached. They would know before hand which way the tube bends and just mark the rim accordingly. <br /><br />Oh thanks RetNav, now I can get on with my day!Originally posted by RetNav:<br /> I always thought the mark had something to do with the pick-up tube inside the can being sort of bent to one edge of the can so you can get all the material out. If that is the reason then you wouldn't notice it until you were almost out of the material and had the nozzle pointed the wrong way (not at the mark). Of course I have never cut a can open to see if that was true..
<br /><br />Its beautiful here on the Oregon coast also, about 75 outside right now And I have my forth cold of the winter. Yes, I have had four colds this year. Literally sick all winter.
'Dude, it may be time for you to move further north, like maybe Alaska. Our winter has just been to mild for you.<br /><br />I finally got into gear today, pressure washing years of dead mold out of the nooks and crannies of all of the ungaraged fleet.Originally posted by LubeDude:<br /> RetNav has it nailed. You can use it to your advantage like when you are under a car and you want to spray upwards, put the dot towards you.<br /><br /> And you do have too much time on your hands Boomer.
<br /><br />We have had the driest sunniest winter since I moved the the PNW in 1987. I'm glad you have the clouds Bassy. Please keep them a while longer. Unlike LubeDude, this sunny warm weather just lites up my So Cal genes. 
Well JB, intentional or not, it would sure do that. Then they could not say " they never told me how it was supposed to work. It's not my fault that I ruined my eye."Originally posted by JB:<br /> Though the bent pickup tube theory really makes sense, my theory is that they do it to force you to pay attention to the nozzle orientation so you don't just press it and spray yourself in the eye.
Geee... would we do that????Originally posted by JB:<br /> ... my theory is that they do it to force you to pay attention to the nozzle orientation so you don't just press it and spray yourself in the eye.
