DEAD SPRAY PAINT CANS- Empty them the EASY way!

Dead spray paint (rattle) cans is a common problem for people. They sit around awhile and lose their propellant and in most areas you can't toss or recycle them unless they are fully empty (which seems tough to do). Well, there is a way to easily, and passively, empty these dead and useless cans- while also saving what is left of the paint inside. This leftover paint (if collected in a GLASS (not plastic) jar) can then possibly be used for new art and graffiti projects. Derek "Deek" Diedricksen shows you a simple method to empty these suckers with minimal effort and mess.

Great information!!! Never realized this could be done!!! Stay safe Deek and family!!!

Love that you took the time to share this tip! A lot of people may not care and just put them in the garbage. I am one of those who have been collecting them because, like you, I feel like their is still good paint in them and environmentally wth do we do with them!? I also I'm a little intimidated by the pressure and wasn't sure how to safely do this. So thanks a bunch! You know what I'll be doing next weekend! I'm a mature student in an art school here in Ontario Canada, so I'll be sure to share your video with the class!

Good to see you again. This is a much safer way to do it than what I do as I essentially drive a nail through the top and leave the nail in the hole to control the depressurization.

Question: Once the gas is gone, and the can is still upside down with pressure still on the nozzle, wouldn't the paint start to leak out of the nozzle tip?

[SamuelAdoff]

Dang, a lot of those cans are worth collecting

[DeAthWaGer]

You can use a valve to refill them via air compressor. I do it with wd40. Just dont go crazy with the psi and use a moisture filter/trap to avoid water going in the can and ruining the contents.

One fun way I haven't been able to do in a while stick two cans nozzle down into snow and shoot them with a BB gun. You can also tie them up with string in front of and over canvas and shoot them with a BB gun
