Re: [FWDLK] L-FORWARDLOOK Digest - 17 Jul 2009 to 18 Jul 2009 (#2009-162)



Hi,
 
I'm getting a kick out of watching the depth of the discussion around aerosol paint cans!  For what its worth, I have some paint cans that are older than my wife and I keep them standing up on a shelf in the garage where the temperature frequently falls well below freezing in the winter.  I always made sure to thoroughly clean the nozzle when I'm finished using them and I shake the heck out of them before I use them the next time.  I have to admit, it has always surprised me that they continue to work effectively. 
 
Jim

Ron:

     I store my aerosol cans on their sides so the paint solids do not
settle to the bottom and clog the tube.  I have some that I am sure are at least
five years old, and when I want to use a little, they work for me.  Be sure
to blow out the spray nozzle however.

Assuming that you have good electrical connections, you should get a
variable voltage by moving the float up and down.  There are shops that will
rebuild sending units.  Can't give you any names without digging through stacks
of reciepts, but they are out there.

Since one doesn't know what the precise orientation of the internal
paint-tube might be
wouldn't it be best to store aerosol cans upside-down???

That tube is the reason why a can is help upside-down, when the can is
sprayed, to clear-out
its plumbing, for storage purposes.

no matter what position its stored in, the solids will settle, along with the agitator.... it will all mix again... upside down sounds good- but i can imaging more convolutions of the top structure may retain mor solids than the smooth sides of the can, or the convex bottom...

like john said, always flip and blow out the tube- actually- that said- prob best to store it right side up as to not clog the valve with solids that can settle- they'll never mox up, and will be more compressed the first time you try to release pressure...

forwardlook cans!!? i dont think i've ever given this much thought to an aerosol can!!
