once you look at a picture of them you will get the idea. This will allow you to

take a single can to experiment with. This over agitation will usually solve the
clogging nozzle issue. It's always been a lack of mixing the paint enough to

get the solids from the bottom edges where the bottom and sides come together.
On several occasions when this situation came up, I took the propellant out of the can and then cut it open to research the problem. After pouring out the remainder of
the paint I used a Dental "pick" to dig down into the edges of the factory seam
and found very small solid pieces of hardened paint that were the probable cause
of the nozzles clogging. The next time I needed to spray a quality finish I used
my Saws-all to shake the cans for several minuets on each one - the results
were absolutely amazing, and the color from each can matched the previous one.
In addition to these great suggestions I store my paint upside down, seems to help with nozzle clogging... especially with Rustoleum. Paul J.
