Brilliant. I got my refrigerator kit yesterday and extracted my paint today from an any-way Rustoleum can. It wasn't quite as easy as you made it look. Lots more spitting than yours and lots of bubbles when I stirred the result but I will now brush on what was otherwise lost. Thank you.
You are a Genius! Epic video and a simple explanation with out any stress inducing foreign situations. Very feasible too and I find that priceless!! Tyfs. Be safe.
Thanks bud 👍🏼👍🏼 I really appreciate it. That contraption has already saved a lot of paint that would have ended up in the garbage. I try to keep all of videos legit. I don't add any drama or fake stuff.
Great hat! Go wings. I can’t wait to try this on some of the old cans, half full in the shop. Going to have to learn how to clean and maintain an air compressor spray gun.
Thanks bud!! Glad it was helpful. Paint guns are pretty easy to take care of. A lot of people are using the Harbor Freight guns for general purpose painting and having good luck with them 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for this awesome video. Im painting my car with a color i like thats only sold in cans and i have just been piercing the can with a knife to get the paint out but takes to long thank you for this awesome tool
Great Vid. Now to figure out how to decant those small 100ml Tamiya cans used in model making. Looks like your clamp won't go down to that small of a size.
I can't say for sure if it'll work, but the needle valve and gasket will most likely work. You'd just have to modify the clamp for the smaller can. Give it a shot and see. Worst case scenario is you waste a few bucks, some time and an already broken spray can.
I'm not sure, honestly. I always used up what I took out. It might depend on the paint. Maybe test it out with something and try it in an air tight container, like a glass food jar. 👍🏼
@@HFG probably not, but I like the concept, and to see that it works as intended, is satisfying. I recently watched a bunch of videos about getting spray paint cans to function, and I effed up pushed inward too far, on a can of white, and had paint spaying out of control onto my lawn furniture, before I tossed it like a grenade into the edge of the woods, behind me! Made a mess and had to tidy up my lawn furniture. Lol. Wasn't funny at the time. I hope you get a larger viewership. I would be interested to see what other sort things you want to share with us. Sounds like you are leaning towards automotive stuff maybe. Is that your back ground? I see the carbs, on your bench.
@@davem5308 your paint can issue doesn't sound fun at all. I've kind of settled into mostly automotive content. It's always been an interest of mine. I like to do a lot of different things but viewers get frustrated if you deviate to a bunch of random topics and projects. There are a lot of other videos on the channel that you might like. 👍🏼
@@HFG Clever use of the words "half fast"! Makes me think of potential t-shirt slogans, like "Old guys are "half fast"! I bet you've already thought of all the good ones.
@@HFG I will indeed look at your other content. I have to admit, I am fickle like that. I use to watch Jonathan W, all the time, and then he veered off into his love of steam engines, and while I watched many of those videos, I had to force myself to watch. Not sure what the psychology is that happens, but it happens! Different strokes for different folks, or something like that?
Great video! Was looking for this exact solution the other day. I also ran across this: YouCan Refillable Spray Paint Can. Just do a search for it. I just bought one on Amazon. Interested to see how well it works. Would be a good compliment to your device...a place to put the paint. Thanks again!
Nice! I've seen those cans before. Pretty cool. I have one that uses a propellant cartridge for automotive paints but I don't use it very much. I hope this helps you out 👍🏼
Thanks... I'm fed up w/ crappy spray cans, now a days. It's only been the last 20-25 yrs the cans have been so bad. Used to have a can for several yrs & not have a problem w/ them.
I realize this is an older video. However, it is a real shame that we have to work around so many spray paint cans that you purchased and don't get what you paid for with clogged up cans. Should be a way to get your money back and not have to deal with such issues. However, you showed a good idea to recover some of what you bought. Years ago this never happened to any spray paint I bought. Now it is almost a given. I have more newly bought cans that simply won't spray than will spray correctly. Something has to change... Spray Paint isn't getting cheap. To the contrary...
I must be old school, I've got 3 of pressured glass paint sprayer. I've got old pinstripe paint glass with metal arm applicator that's old school. I had to walk out of pinstriping class, when instructor was teaching shop charge for entire can of paint but only use minimal amounts of paint. Charging over an over for same paint can! That didn't come across well with me?
The ones I have are all brass except for the rubber gasket on the outside. I can't say that they're all like that, but it's just a needle valve and super easy to take apart and look. They're also super cheap, so it's easy to test. One main component of carburetor cleaner is acetone, so it's safe for certain types of plastic.
@@HFG It was on automatic and I never had any problem through the years. Now I Switched to 1080 and was ok. Then, I put it back on Automatic and this time I could see clearly. Weird. Probably a glitch at the time I was watching it.

I've noticed that some can sputter like that but for the most part ive had really good luck with it. It's saved a lot of wasted paint 👍🏼
Glad I saw this, never would have thought of doing it like this, got a bunch of half empty cans to drain!
👊🏼👊🏼 Glad it was helpful!
Intelligent way to extract the materials. Thanks for the video and tips.

Found your channel from a Stuff With Cleatus Instagram post! Love DIY videos and loved this one! Subscribed! Can't wait to watch more of them!
Nice! Thanks, bud. I hope you like my other videos. It's all kind of like a project vlog but I'll throw in some more like this when I can.
@@HFG Sounds good! I love it! I love car/truck content! I have a food review channel! Check it out if you get a chance!

hey, its Johnny Clyde! small world
I was wondering about something like this. I'm glad I got to see it work.
Give it a shot. It works great! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sweet! I'd never use that valve for its origional use but I'm geting one for my cans!
Heck yeah! I'm glad it could be helpful 👍🏼👍🏼
Love the video, very informative! Pleasant greetings from Belize!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I've been to Belize. It's a beautiful place with great people!! Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for sharing this ingenious method. Much appreciated
I'm glad you found it useful!! Thanks👍🏼👍🏼
Great idea. Glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing.
👊🏼👊🏼 Glad you're here!!
Never seen anything like this. I need this for the PB Blaster and WD40 cans. This was on my recommended feed.
Really? I didn't think any of my videos got recommended to anyone. Definitely make the tool 👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼

came up in my recommended, glad it did !! have 3 rust reformer cans just sitting there since they are dead spray
thanks !!!
Awesome! I'm glad it'll help you out. I've saved a lot of dead cans with this thing. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome idea. Can the paint be stored or do you have to use it right away
I'm not sure, honestly. I always used up what I took out. It might depend on the paint. Maybe test it out with something and try it in an air tight container, like a glass food jar. 👍🏼
Cool idea. . us model car/plane builders have been decanting paint for years waste not want not.
That's awesome! It's definitely the way to go!
Very good idea!
Thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼
Nifty! Thanks! 👍
I hope it helps you save a few bucks

Anything like that. It doesn't matter what brand. I'm pretty sure they all work the same. If you can find them cheaper somewhere then do that.
Your the best man thinks
👍🏼👍🏼
brilliant😺
A bike at 65° as a profile pic and a cat emoji?!? We'd get along fine 👊🏼👊🏼
You should patent that and sell it to walmart as one of those "as seen on T.V." deals...yup a millionaire in the making
Heck yeah! That would be awesome!
Can you do this to a new can of spray paint (worried it's too much pressure)?
Yeah. I've used it on new cans that I dropped and broke the nozzle on. No problem 👍🏼
@@HFG cool, thanks!
@tonybarrett2245 happy to help 👍🏼
You should sell that little tool you made on ebay or something. I bet people would buy it.
Hmm. They might 🤔
I get the marbles out the cans and save em in a jar.. Why not.. You bought it.
Me too! I saved a bunch, but I lost them somewhere. So, I guess I really did lose my marbles. :)
How does one get acetone into it to clean it?
I take it apart which is pretty easy. Or use a spray through it. Lots of different ways to clean it. 👍🏼
@@HFG So it contains no rubber or plastic parts that acetone will eat up during cleaning?

Well thats… One way to decant spray paint cans, bit over engineered, and highly unnecessary.
Works well for me 👍🏼
