Spray paint rack

Don't throw away those old bent closet wire shelves!!!! I had a customer who wanted to use the front lip of two of them to make a spray paint rack for his garage. He had cut off the front lip from two of the racks and needed a way to join them together. We were trying to join together a bunch of joined L shaped prongs. After some major experimentation I discovered that the prongs fit perfectly in a piece of H shaped plastic paneling molding. I had him run a bead of liquid nails inside the H on both sides, then press the open prongs in to the adhesive. After it set for about 24 hours it was ready to be hung on his garage wall. For this we used Rubbermaids closet C clips every 16" on the wall and hung it at a slight downward slope so the cans would slide forward for him. We also bent the last two tips inward to use as a stop for the cans. It works perfectly! The rack is just wide enough for the cans and they slide easily down the smooth plastic center. My customer was thrilled! Another happy ending for thinking outside the box!
