Save a can apakah dijual di Indonesia??

[@BarryWinner2075]

Great video, They should make those nozzle stem tips out of the same kind of plastic those clear packages for products at Costco are in, like SD Card packages that you practically have to use tin snips to open. The plastic that the spray can nozzle stems are made of is very brittle, I had the stem break off a can of carburetor cleaner bust and it only fell about a foot and a half and landed on the spray nozzle

[@RJB_FixinStuff]

If you have a can with product but no pressure left, I have used my air compressor and a blow gun with a soft rubber tip to re-pressurize the can. Just remove spray tip, place rubber nozzle from blow gun over can valve tightly and give it a couple good bursts! You will feel it when you get it right its like blowing in a drinking straw. Then just put the nozzle back on and boom it should spray again! Don't over do this and you will need at least 60 psi or so to overcome the can valve but I have had great success with this! Keep in mind that liquids that cure in air like paint you should probably use quickly.

Mines broken down into the can.

I save Rustoleum spray can tips when the can runs out . I invert the cap , and put a drop of engine oil in the tip . When a Rustoleum can tip clogs , extras are available .

Places like Amazon also sell packs of brand new spray tips, I bought a variety pack with a dozen each of the most common spray tips, I been using a bunch of them to revive old spray cans

Thank you so much man this was the exact same problem Im having right now with a broken tip. I actually had a nozzle for the phone the one you're talking about ordering through eBay and I didn't know what it was for and I literally just put it away about 5 minutes ago I'm not thinking it could give me a little bit of help but I can't wait to look through your other videos cuz I'm always working around the house looking for ways to save me a trip to the store

I was just getting ready to put a comment about safety glasses when you mentioned it at the very end. Thank you very much for that.

Those trigger guns are awesome. I've been using them for years, and they make long projects like painting so much easier. That WD40 trick is very cool. I like those spray heads, and it never even occurred to me that they could be removed and put on other cans.

[@lisiatepalu7737]

Thankyou a lot it’s help Thankyou

[@BonyFingers1969]

That's not 4 ounces, That's 0.4 of an ounce (4/10ths of an ounce).

[@jkgent4087]

Where did you get it. I cannot find it online.

[@lorettacaputo6997]

When I have a can that has lost its pressure, I make a slight hole at the top and depressure the can. Once the pressure is down, I enlarge the hole and pour the contents into a small glass jar. I have an airbrush, so if I need to spray paint the particular color I can use my compressor and the airbrush to use the product. Most of the times I did this for model painting and I got the best application of paint in comparison to the mist from the paint bomb can. Wd40 or other lubricants that are similarly affected, I just open the can and dump it into a jar and use a paint brush to apply to the surfaces that need treatment. I never waste a spray bomb can unless I have to do it.

[@BarryWinner2075]

Great idea, that's what I do with brake cleaner and carburetor cleaner and put in a jar to use for brush cleaner when the spouts break off the cans .

[@colleen0229]

You can also pump air into the can!

[@gnic76]

Interesting tips, thanks. Spray cans suck in general. I'm sure manufactures could fix the issues. The straws get lost or are the wrong diameter. 🙁

Can gun is an amazing product! Cheap also - Walmart!

I have a hair spray that won't spray like it should. The tip is not clogged. I've even tried a brand new tip, and it still doesn't spray correctly. I've also tried pressing down on the tubing, and it comes out perfectly and at full force. I'm thinking that the tubing must be bent inside. What can I do to salvage this can of my favorite hairspray??

[@pitpride1220]

[@meganroot653]

For $12.99 I can save so much money on the dozens of $15-20 cans of paint I have that are broken. What about if you have a rustoleum universal brand of paint though? I have a few that have faulty sprayers and have no clue how to fix them or get the paint out of them safely.

[@genemanno1533]

Easier to decant and use in air brush or spray gun. The cost of “fix” not worth the cost for $6 can of paint. I can see this “fix” getting very messy when one slips up a little. All one has to do is press on the tip a bit too much and then………spray paint everywhere.

I have an aerosol can of insect spray. It has the spray cap. And it has another cap that comes with a straw for crevice spray. I used the cap with the straw a couple of times. Now the cap with the straw doesn’t reattach to the can. The regular spray cap still reattaches no problem. I called the company. They sent me another cap with straw which still doesn’t reattach to the can. I’m confused why the spray cap still reattaches. But the cap with the straw does not.

[@JRPLawyeress1]

I just tossed a new can of gap filler because the spray nozzle snapped off.

[@joshuadavidson2837]

You are supposed to file the tip flat or cut it clean and even with a razor blade

[@salvadormartinezvalenzuela4698]

What’s with the glove fingers not all the way in!! 🤔

The tips 13 bucks, plus shipping But it looks like its made in the USA out of brass, should last a lifetime If you can find it in your tool box. 1 can of whatever 2.99 To 12 bucks up to you if you bust a bunch of cans its worth it. If its just one can bummer.

[@cp1855]

Broken tip should be cut level 90 degree. Then the tip will screw in solidly no mess.

[@rjohnson5120]

It’s early Sunday morning or Friday night at 11, you live 35 miles from a store, or maybe out at the ranch, you use a lot of these in your work, money actually matters and some of these products aren’t cheap, you just need to squeeze out a little bit more and don’t need a whole other can, and you’d prefer not to dump a bunch of chemicals in the trash. There’s a half dozen legit reasons not to just toss it in the trash and “go buy a new can”. Trolls.

[@joshuadavidson2837]

There's alot of aerosol product out there that isn't just 3-4 dollars. I'd hate to throw a 15.00 can of paint away when I could have bought a reusable product that could save me that $$ then and in the future.
