rattle can spray nozzle question
What's the best way to keep those little plastic nozzles from clogging? I tiop the can over a spray it out after using. Should I be soaking them in thinner as well?

You should be able to find replacement nosels in the spray paint isle at homies. I've picked them up there before. Couple different sizes too.

If you turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds, the tips will never clog. I havent had a clogged tip since last year when i started doing this trick.

Eben, still happens on occasion, certain colors have heavier pigments, and will clog...

Sometimes it isnt a bad thing...
My rustoleum flo-green has gotten a tiny bit clogged and gives a nice "textured" look to the plugs... not gonna win a beauty contest but I bet it'll catch....
But I'm with E, I turn em over and spray em a few seconds, havent had a big problem....

I took one of the tops to a rattlecan and filled it with the odorless thinner. After using each a can, I just tip the can upside down and give the nozzle a good dunking in the thinner. I have not had one clog yet.

I store all my spray tops in a glass jar of thinner.
they havent clogged since I started doing that. I got sick of partially clogged caps spraying sideways and spitting.
turning the cans upside down should do the job but I always felt like it was such a waste of paint and propellant.
if you're only spraying one or two plugs at a time you'll use more paint in the cleaning that you use on a plug.
before I would steal a cap from another can when one would clog , now I have more caps than cans.
