    If you have a can with product but no pressure left, I have used my air compressor and a blow gun with a soft rubber tip to re-pressurize the can. Just remove spray tip, place rubber nozzle from blow gun over can valve tightly and give it a couple good bursts! You will feel it when you get it right its like blowing in a drinking straw. Then just put the nozzle back on and boom it should spray again! Don't over do this and you will need at least 60 psi or so to overcome the can valve but I have had great success with this! Keep in mind that liquids that cure in air like paint you should probably use quickly.

    Great video, They should make those nozzle stem tips out of the same kind of plastic those clear packages for products at Costco are in, like SD Card packages that you practically have to use tin snips to open. The plastic that the spray can nozzle stems are made of is very brittle, I had the stem break off a can of carburetor cleaner bust and it only fell about a foot and a half and landed on the spray nozzle

      Easier to decant and use in air brush or spray gun. The cost of “fix” not worth the cost for $6 can of paint. I can see this “fix” getting very messy when one slips up a little. All one has to do is press on the tip a bit too much and then………spray paint everywhere.

I've also tried pressing down on the tubing, and it comes out perfectly and at full force. I'm thinking that the tubing must be bent inside.

    When I have a can that has lost its pressure, I make a slight hole at the top and depressure the can. Once the pressure is down, I enlarge the hole and pour the contents into a small glass jar. I have an airbrush, so if I need to spray paint the particular color I can use my compressor and the airbrush to use the product. Most of the times I did this for model painting and I got the best application of paint in comparison to the mist from the paint bomb can. Wd40 or other lubricants that are similarly affected, I just open the can and dump it into a jar and use a paint brush to apply to the surfaces that need treatment. I never waste a spray bomb can unless I have to do it.

    I used the cap with the straw a couple of times. Now the cap with the straw doesn’t reattach to the can.
    The regular spray cap still reattaches no problem.
    I called the company. They sent me another cap with straw which still doesn’t reattach to the can.
    I’m confused why the spray cap still reattaches. But the cap with the straw does not.

      There’s a half dozen legit reasons not to just toss it in the trash and “go buy a new can”.
