Hey all-
I'm working with a group of kids doing a B'way revue for a summer show. We're looking to have them all spray 'hairspray' at the end of a musical number. Does anyone know something safe that sprays like aerosol but won't choke the kids? ------------- You may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have... |

Office-supply stores carry "air-dusters" for computer and other electronic equipment. It's shoots out a blast of air which is simply a compressed gas that typically is odorless. You could put a fake Hairspray label on the can and no one would be the wiser.

Some tool discount houses carry a "refillable spray paint can." You put thinned down paint in it and pressurize it with a compressor. Just use water instead of paint. It would give the "cloud effect" of hairspray but remain safe and non-toxic.
On a related note, I just built a 9-1/2 foot tall can of hairspray as a set piece for the show HAIRSPRAY. The "spray" is from a fog machine positioned inside the can.

Thank you both very much. I had thought of the air dusters but there's no 'cloud' effect. I will look for the re-fillable cans.
And your ultra clutch looks terrific!  ------------- You may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have... |
