WD-40. Can't empty the whole can

[BrandonB]

Try getting the trigger spray instead of the aerosol spray type.

Take the tip off and use a rubber tipped air nozzle and press tightly and shoot compressed air into it.

This...or get a can of Blow Off spray (WalMart, etc. sells it in electronic section).
Remove a straw from either can. Connect two together with a straw. Press the WD button first, then Blow Off which pressurizes WD can.
Works with paint also.

I buy spray paint at homedepot and never had a issue returning half empty cans when they don't spray no more...

Collect all your dead cans, cut em open and poor out the remaining into a regular spray bottle.

I've always been nervous about aerosol cans with the warnings about "contents under extreme pressure". How does one safely cut a can open? I know this sounds paranoid, but it's a serious question.

I buy the 5 gallon can and any spray bottle

 

[fordmike65]

Seriously. Flip the can upside down and spray. Happens to me all the time at work. It'll spray til empty.

I've actually had several cans of PB Blaster with the same issue and swapped out the nozzles, no dice. Once I realized I was able to squeeze the cans, (no pressure) I pulled the top out and drained the can. From now on I plan on buying the gallon with a spray bottle.

Once there is no more propellant there is nothing to worry about. I usually resort to what I did as a kid with the Testor paint cans, stab the can with a looooong blade screwdriver, using a hammer.
