Shop Tip

A surefire way to clean aerosol
nozzles
In my shop I frequently use spray cans of paint and finish and I
don’t like wasting the can’s contents or pressure to clear the
nozzle. Instead, I use a can of WD-40, as shown, to easily and
completely clean the nozzle. ---David Buskirk, Ray, Ohio---
