    Great tips. I store used nozzles in a glass mason jar of paint thinner so that they never dry out till I use them again. And, to keep from getting in this situation, I put a tiny dab of Vaseline on the spray tip immediately after use and just wipe it off prior to the next use. I’ve found that works 100% of the time. And a small jar of Vaseline lasts years.

    Thanks 65 good tips. On empty cans I save nozzles if they're good. There's many different sizes & styles not all interchangeable. When I get a bad can I rummage thru the box and find a used one that fits. Gotta try the back pressure trick too. I also cut open the empty cans and save the marbles because over the years I seem to have lost most of mine.

      As reported by many others, this is from a bygone era. Most cans 10 yrs old or newer no longer "clean-out" by inverting & spraying upside down for 5 seconds. Nowadays they are designed to spray at all angles, so it's rare to find one to "clean-out" by this method.

  • @Anonymous-it5jw
    @Anonymous-it5jw 5 років тому +7

    As AJK says, float the can in hot water in the sink and everything inside the can will redissolve when you shake it up, then test it again. Certain products always have to be heated in water before use because they either sit on the shelf too long or the products are too shy to come out w/o help.
    P.S. I had 2 cans of same brand and color paint do this to me this afternoon, but it turns out that one had a male nozzle and one a female. The can with male nozzle finally cooperated after some intensive "therapy."

  • @noimagination99
    @noimagination99 Рік тому +1

    Great tips! I always keep the nozzles from used-up paints and carb cleaner, etc. I also use brake cleaner or carb cleaner to rinse the nozzles immediately after every use, same as you, but I also give the place the nozzle attaches to the can a squirt too. I never spray upside down to clear the nozzle, as you said, it wastes propellent. You'll quickly run out if you do a lot of small jobs with one can.
    Last time I had a bad can of primer that kept immediately clogging the nozzle due to lumps, like yours from 3:45 to 5:00 🙂, I used a spring-loaded center punch, punched a hole near the top, and the punch tip kept it sealed. I quickly removed the punch and put my finger over the hole, then went outside, and shook the can one more time, turned the can upside-down, removed my finger, and quickly sprayed the part I needed done. It worked so beautifully I really wished I had videoed it! When I was done, I turned the can upright, letting the pressure out but saving the remaining paint too! The spraying took all of about 2-3 seconds.
    PS - I love the dog videos at the end, especially this one!

    Just to add a small improvised versions of what you have already showm.
    1st - rubber blow gun tip... if you take a small drill bit (.009-0.015") and pre drill about 1/4" deep into rubber tip it will fit perfectly over the can tip and less mess. You all can use soldering gun tip and make a cone.
    2nd car parts stores they sell emergency CO2 tier inflation kits.. Use CO2 and you can store spray can after refill.

    For those of us that don't have compressed air, pour a 1/2" of acetone in the cap and store upside. Next day should be clean and clear to use. Even expanding foam spray works. Simply snip the applicator small enough to fit in the/a cap uninstalled and store upside down overnight and wipe away blobs the next day with a Q-tip. Remember to buy some 12" lengths of tubing to fit over the applicator to finish off that can, and yes, the expanding foam can blow that replacement tube off if your not quick enough.

  • @TheKittiwake
    @TheKittiwake Рік тому

    After using a rattle can and before putting it away I use brake cleaner to:
    1) Spray the front of the nozzle
    2) Spray through the nozzle into the stem end and
    3) Spray a shot or two down into the the top of the can where the nozzle attaches. This will displace any residual paint on the atmosphere side of the valve.
    I found this to work for lengthy storage almost 100% of the time however If on a rare occasion you find it plugged after a long period of storage, I use brake cleaner down into the can instead of air, by pushing down on the valve while simultaneously spraying brake cleaner into the can. A couple short shots is usually adequate but you may have to repeat a couple times. I do this into a trash bucket, also using a rag to trap escaping paint as shown in this video.

      You can bring hard paint or putty back to life in many cases. You need to have a shaking or mixing machine that marries with the container of hardened material. In my instances I used a 2 gallon paint shaker from a paint store. Mixes 1 gallon each side. Use a balancer if need be. Add some water for water base and mineral spirits or turpentine for oil base. Don't add too much thinner but not too little either.
      A proper shaker or even a drill with a whip mixer attached will usually bring hardened material back to life. It can be helpful on a budget or if you had easy access to otherwise waste material that can be utilized with confidence. We waste a lot of good stuff.

    Brilliant idea! Additionally you could used regulated argon, nitrogen or co2 instead of air and avoid adding oxygen which could make the paint hard. Maybe using some rubber hose around where the nozzle goes into might work as well as long as your in pressure is slightly more than cans pressure. Might be prudent to put can in nylon duffle bag in case something goes wrong avoiding injury or a mess.

    Rustoleum is the worst. I hate it. But that’s all you can find at Home Depot and Lowe’s. The Rustoleum sprays at any angle, and you can’t clear in out when you’re done by turning it upside down because paint keeps coming out. It never comes out clear. I’ve started taking the cap off and cleaning it with brake cleaner or carb spray so that it’s ready to go next time I need it. Duplicolor is better but you have to go to an auto parts store.

    I think we all have had blocked can valves :-(
    Small anti persperent cans often have a tiny side hole in the stubby tube, as it gets pushed down past a rubber washer the contents escapes through the tiny hole up the stubby tube.
    Such a simple idea, but i imagine for paint its a no no.
    I too have a wd40 can with the novel spray head and tube, that will be put to one side for cheaper sprays.
    I know im sad, but a tube that stays in the spray head is nice.

    Ugh...having almost full spray cans clog up drives me nuts! Seems this happens more these days than back when I was younger(a long time ago!!), maybe it's the "green" gases used now than the Planet Destroyers I came too love??! I knew about the nozzle tricks but never thought about back pressure.

      I buy up a lot of estate auction garage chemicals/spray paints. I have plenty of cans from the 70's and 80's that still spray great. It's the modern stuff that loves to clog up.

    when I empty a can, i remove the nozzle and put it in a sealed jar filled with paint thinner. I try to keep a few of each type in there. When I have a nozzle go bad (or is clogged), i go to my jar and get one. Great video on how to unclog the can though, hadn't seen that before.

    The cheap paint doesn't really matter, although the cheap stuff doesn't seem to clog. The $8 buck and up a can paint is where these tips really matter.

  • @paintnamer6403
    @paintnamer6403 3 роки тому +1

    Put the carb cleaner nozzle on the paint can and that lets the clog out, sometimes. If you need to put a lot of paint out fast it does that too.

    I'm now wondering if nitrogen would do the trick without the risk of drying the paint. Although if the air/propellant bubbles to the top of the can, I'd think just agitating the can often would stop any crust from forming.

    I had a red Rust-Oleum can that refused to spray I must of hit it with air 100 times while painting a scrap barrel with it to use it up. Tons of drips and splatter but didn't go to waste and did some rust prevention. If the can is old it's going to give you a hard time.

    Don't know if mentioned but you can take the spray tip and place on a carb cleaner and spray it to clean it. If it will fit that style

  • @MacheteBushcraftAustralia

    I have the same issues with Rustoleum cans but it's mostly the caps. I now clean them with paint thinners after use. I pull the caps and squirt it through with a wash down bottle and run a little compressed air through it after. They spray much better with clean caps even as the internal pressure drops. The carby cleaner method looks easier to be honest!

    • @sixtyfiveford

    The problem with mine are the nozzles! Even 100 psi of air doesn't seem to be able to blow through them, yet if I take off the nozzle of a new can, all my 'problem' cans spray just fine! Wondering if 'Rustoleum' will furnish some nozzles if I write to them?? It would be nice, for what we pay, if they could add 3 or 4 additional nozzles with each can!
