After admiring it there for a few days, it finally occurred to me that I DID, in fact, own an actual "HAND DRYER PUSH BUTTON"
having picked one up off a restroom floor someplace years ago. (somebody else having caused it to part company with its machine...! 
) Off digging into the boxes of stuff I went, and with a couple scraps of wood, a few screws, a spring, and some spray paint -- here's what we gots, now! 
but now, its too heavy to attach to my subway tile with tape...that stupid button is solid, probably brass, under the chrome plating!  |
