Ok, so up until now, I've been using spray paint cans and not having too many issues. But it seems lately, that none of the cans are working. I know that almost all of them are at least half if not 3/4 full. I store them on their sides in a rack that fits about 20 or so cans. To me, it just seems like i get one or 2 sprays with them, and when I come back the next day, or a few days later, they no longer work. I have tried unclogging nozzles, taking off the nozzles and soaking them in paint thinner to remove any paint, and I can feel the weight of the cans, so I know there's lots in there. Just confusing to me. Is there some step or tip to using spray paint that I'm just not that smart enough to know about? What am I missing here?
