Quick Tip: Cleaning an aerosol nozzle
Nov 16, 2011
The common trick for keeping an aerosol nozzle clear of dried paint or finish after spraying is to turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds. Trouble is, each time you do this you lose aerosol pressure and—as I’ve found many times—you end up with a can still containing material and no way to get it out. To avoid this, I keep a small, lidded glass jar half filled with a suitable solvent. When I’m done spraying, I pop off the nozzle and drop it in the jar until I need to spray again.
