Thank you so much man this was the exact same problem Im having right now with a broken tip. I actually had a nozzle for the phone the one you're talking about ordering through eBay and I didn't know what it was for and I literally just put it away about 5 minutes ago I'm not thinking it could give me a little bit of help but I can't wait to look through your other videos cuz I'm always working around the house looking for ways to save me a trip to the store

Great video, They should make those nozzle stem tips out of the same kind of plastic those clear packages for products at Costco are in, like SD Card packages that you practically have to use tin snips to open. The plastic that the spray can nozzle stems are made of is very brittle, I had the stem break off a can of carburetor cleaner bust and it only fell about a foot and a half and landed on the spray nozzle

I think that weight is 4/10th of an ounce and not 4 ounces.

If you have a can with product but no pressure left, I have used my air compressor and a blow gun with a soft rubber tip to re-pressurize the can. Just remove spray tip, place rubber nozzle from blow gun over can valve tightly and give it a couple good bursts! You will feel it when you get it right its like blowing in a drinking straw. Then just put the nozzle back on and boom it should spray again! Don't over do this and you will need at least 60 psi or so to overcome the can valve but I have had great success with this! Keep in mind that liquids that cure in air like paint you should probably use quickly.

That's not 4 ounces, That's 0.4 of an ounce (4/10ths of an ounce).

Thanks fr the tips. I'll remember this!!

I save Rustoleum spray can tips when the can runs out . I invert the cap, and put a drop of engine oil in the tip . When a Rustoleum can tip clogs, extras are available .

Good video. I’ll have to try one of these on the varnish can I bought and lost the top sprayer.

Can gun is an amazing product! Cheap also - Walmart!

I think you maybe the best subscribe I happen to find due to one of your YouTuber friends. I can remember which one though.

At $18.99 for Sav A Can, there are not many cans worth saving.

[gnic]

Interesting tips, thanks.
Spray cans suck in general. I'm sure manufactures could fix the issues. The straws get lost or are the wrong diameter. 🙁

[randywl]

Great content. I have a few cans with broken stems, so I have some experimenting to do. 👍

[coni-nekm]

Thanks a bunch for the tips. I wish I had known about the Spray Foam Replacement Tubes before I threw out a perfectly good can that was three-quarters full.

[johnbowers]

If you use acetone it will clean the spray foam out of the tip of the can and straw

[juansolis]

great vid., i wanted to buy a Save A Can Tip but they only sell by 3 of them at the time almost 50 bucks! hell no.

[JRPLawyeress]

I just tossed a new can of gap filler because the spray nozzle snapped off.

[joshuadavidson]

You are supposed to file the tip flat or cut it clean and even with a razor blade

[roberthoug]

tip is about 4/10ths of an ounce eagle

I have an aerosol can of insect spray. It has the spray cap. And it has another cap that comes with a straw for crevice spray.
I used the cap with the straw a couple of times. Now the cap with the straw doesn’t reattach to the can.
The regular spray cap still reattaches no problem.
I called the company. They sent me another cap with straw which still doesn’t reattach to the can.
I’m confused why the spray cap still reattaches. But the cap with the straw does not.
