Welcome back to ScratchesHappen. Today we're going to show you how to use and install our Aerosol Spray trigger.
Step 1: Spray Aerosol Cans Correctly
When you spray an aerosol can, make sure you press the nozzle straight down and don’t tip it forward.
Tipping the nozzle forward can cause the spray to create a puddle, leading to spots on your panel.
Step 2: Install the Trigger Properly
When you install your trigger, put it straight on the top and ensure your nozzle is straight.
The trigger provides more leverage and control over the spray.

FAQ
Why should I use a spray trigger/on-can handle instead of just pressing the nozzle with my finger?
Many users find holding down a spray can nozzle with a finger uncomfortable, especially on larger projects — leading to finger fatigue and inconsistent pressure. A trigger handle gives you a full-hand grip and smoother squeeze, improving control and reducing fatigue during extended use.
My spray seems uneven or still drips — is that a trigger problem?
In most cases, uneven spray or drips are caused by technique, nozzle buildup, or tilting the can — not the trigger itself. Make sure the can is shaken thoroughly, held perpendicular to the surface, and kept moving during each pass. The trigger improves control, but proper spray technique is still essential.
What do I do if the trigger doesn’t stay attached securely?
If the trigger feels loose, it may not be seated correctly. Align it carefully and press it straight onto the nozzle until fully seated as shown in the video. Do not install it at an angle. Confirm the nozzle is centered in the trigger opening before spraying.
