Title: Rattle cans never last?!
Post by: jamie_pyrite on 12 September 2011, 23:26
Hi all,

So I've got quite a frustrating problem - It seems that whenever I use rattle cans, such as hammerite/primer, etc. the gas seems to run out waaaaay before the can is empty?! The can is still heavy and when shaking it, I can feel a lot of liquid moving about, but it's just not spraying anything anymore. I've checked for blockages and tried a different head but still nothing!

Now, I always follow the rules with cans to shake very well (usually around 2 minutes), not to use a cold can and to spray it upside down for a couple of seconds after I'm finished using it (I'm not sure why, but I just do it)


So does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be going wrong or is this normal?!
