Default Re: Rust Oleum spray cans

I have several spray cans of Rustoleum that I've had for more than two years. About 9 months ago, I turned the cans upside down and every month after that, I would alternate turning them right side up and back upside down. I shake them well when I'm ready to use them and haven't lost any more cans of usable paint.

Now this spray can issue has gotten worse in my shop I have both a can of WD-40 and a can of Kroil, both have content in them (1/5th of a can?) and will shake up, but neither will spray anything out, no matter any trick I try...

Can you squeeze the cans? they may have lost their pressure/propellant. If you can squeeze the cans you might as well just puncture them and drain the contents into some other handy container.

Not sure bout the paint but I have saved old wd40 by cross docking with a can of compressed air or air duster. Connect the wd40 to air duster with little red straw. Squeeze both triggers for a minute and the air pressure will equalize between the 2 cans. Disconnect and you can now use that last bit of wd40.

I hope a new can of compressed air is a lot cheaper than a new can of WD-40.

Used this method in a pinch when I did not want to make a return visit to a job and had a can of air and a can of wd40 with none....

Just buy a gallon of WD40 and a spray bottle and your good to go.

After painting, I always clean out the nozzle with lacquer thinner or acetone and then blow out the nozzle with air. I never turn the can upside down and after cleaning, I have never had a clogged nozzle.
