I'd suggest a small glass jar ( w/ lid) full of 'Brush Cleaner' ...? Each time
you empty a rattlecan,pull off the sprayhead and toss it in the sauce.? The
residual paint stays soft and this sprayheadwill function well when the one
you'd been using clogs up.? ? I've got a jar full of all different kindsthat
I've collected over the years,? everything from spray glue to undercoating.? If
the spraycandoesn't have enough pressure to force out the old but softened
paint in the sprayhead, hit it with some?compressed air.? Works every
time...Cautionary Note:? Most Rustoleum Spray paint has a re-coat window of
either less than 2 hours or?more than 48 hours ( under good drying conditions)?
?A fresh re-coat ( ie. over the 'feels dry' -but isn't-first coat)? will result
in the paint solvents really trashing the whole project, resulting in an
unusableywrinkled-coat, and you'll have to start all over from bare metal.? ?
If drying conditions are sub-optimal,( ie cool weather)? you may have to wait a
few extra days.? ?I try to spray some paint on some scrap?and use it as a
test-case for re-coat timing....? But have also had to resort to very bad
language andmuch furrowing of brow at times when the 2nd coat curdles after a
few hours....I'd had pretty good luck with most of the Krylon stuff,? but the
Rustoleum is better paint, IMHO.YMMV!!Bob Westerdale59 3A? ?TS36967

"Spray at any angle" kills that method.? It's nice while painting but sucks
afterwards.

Do you do the usual "invert the can after you're finished and spray until

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?
