When you're out on a Night Op, the last thing you want is to be heard. Spray cans with paint inside often contain a ball of some kind to thin out the paint when you shake it up. However, when walking/climbing this can start to rattle around and make quite a racket. Is there any way of silencing the noise of a rattling paint can, possibly by wrapping it up or something?

To stop kiddies from using them for graff? :hai:
i like the magnet idea :thumbsup:
I asked a friend of mine and he said they use a marble. Either that or buy one of those "designer" cans w/o the balls. Bit pricey.
They also sell "can silencers." :facepalm: Just your shit ass magnet you can grab on Dealextreme.
The first on is re-usabe and so cheaper. Plus it saves cleaning dried out from from th e only knozzle that some times comes with the can. If you by your expanding foam from one of those big DIY wharehouse places, just pick up several knozzels and put them on the counter with the foam.
If the person on the counter questions you (which they probably will not) then quesion their knowledge of using such product, and tell them it would be impossible to use the product under normal circumstances using one knozzle. As they are just counter staff, they will have probably been trained so they know the difference between consumables and materials, but equate this to taking 15 napkins at KFC rather than 4 or 5.
Congrats, they have just sanctioned you having them.
Fun to get one over, but you are more likely to have putty / plastacine / blue tac at hand.
It does not remove the noise, but it removes a lot of the volume and the most distinctive frequencies.
exactly what I was thinking. either that or "acquire" cans that don't have the ball.
A toy marble.
dumbass
