I might have the largest collection of partially used paint spray cans. Some
are several years old. My method to keep them useable is to make sure to shake
them thoroughly before spraying. When finished, remove the spray tip and blow
the tip clear with compressed air. No need to waste the propellant inside the
can, you'll want it for the next time.
My shop and garage have permanent air plumbing which makes it easy. My air gun
is equipped with a small rubber tip that fits those spray tips well.

Is it just me or is there no way to clear the tip of the new Rust-Oleum, and
maybe others, spray cans with the ?spray at any angle? feature? Other than
taking the tip off and soaking it in thinner then blow it out.
Have thrown out several partial cans in the past year and taking one back to
Lowe?s today.
Am I missing a secret process here?
Thanks for letting me vent,
