Expert Advice for your Lawn & Garden TV Host of Today's Homeowner® and home expert for The Weather ChannelVideo, Painting Published 11/28/2006 by Danny Lipford
Spray paint is a great solution for lots of small projects around the house, but lots of folks find it difficult to use the cans more than once because the tips clog with paint. The easiest solution is to clean the tip as soon as you finish painting by inverting the can and pressing the button until the resulting spray turns clear. If its too late for some of your spray cans, try removing the spray tip from the can and soaking it overnight in mineral spirits or laquer thinner. Clean the softened paint from the tip using the tiny piece of wire from the inside of a twist tie (commonly found on bags of bread). Your spray can is as good as new.
