If you dont have enough money for thinner or the upside down trick doesnt work. Over by the paint section in Wal-Mart they sell this shit its called OOPS! its a multy purpose remover in an aerosol can. This shit is a cap saver and its cheaper than a can of Krylon. For best results use while you are bombing, use also after switching caps. If you feel or hear that your cap is clogging and the upside down trick doesnt work , which it doesnt always, pop those caps on a can of OOPS! & spray away. Just remember that the paint must be somewhat wet for it to work, it will NOT work if the paint is already dried in the cap. PEACE.
For some reason the soaking in paint thinner worked on a few old german outlines, but i keep finding clogged ny thins and ny fats and i just cant seem to get this shit unclogged. There dried to. Which may mean im fucked. Looks like its time to browse the adhesive section of a few craft stores.
this thread was dead for a year and a half and you people go and post to it? why do people keep bringing back stupid threads? there are like ten other threads on this same exact topic. some of them are even active. jesus christ, I'm going to shoot myself.
^^Wow...would you really do that for us? It'd make you stop bitching. If you're tired of looking at old threads, don't look at them. Crazy idea, I know, but try it. That won't work for most tips, because most airduster cans are male. Plus, I can't see that doing anything different or better than just holding the can upside down and spraying...
dude i left 3 pink dots and a german outline in thiner and all it did was make it look good it didnt unclog them at all...help??? or is cuz im usin cheap thinner.
I don't think that method would work. Cause air gets trapped in the caps while the paint drys, so the thinner probably doesn't even get to the paint. That method probably only works if the paint's still wet.
Or you could go fuck yourself. If you notice, I don't bitch when people post in old threads AND ADD SOMETHING TO THE CONVERSATION. But it's amazing how people post to a two year old thread and go "Hey post pics please thanks." And why do I bitch? Because when people spam the threads, the mods have to work harder. And when the mods have to work harder, they get pissy, and rightfully so. And people end up getting banned over stupid shit. Call me crazy, but I'd like to see the people here stay here. Even the ones I don't like. It would be amazing if everyone could post relevant, on topic information, maybe we could bring old threads back without people getting pissed off. But instead, we have four "HOW DO I CLEAN CAPS?" threads and it's fucking retarded. So, yeah, you can bitch to me about what I say when people stop brining back redundant dead threads by adding pointless posts.
what i do is oil them a bit wit wd40, then pop out the dot wit a knife(careful here this can be hard wit belton and NY caps) and then spray WD through it, which loosens most paint, then spray some krylon through them too, then more WD to prevent the krylon reclogging..it sounds complicated but it works well..if anyone wants pics shout n ill get some
