WD-40. Can't empty the whole can

[GTs58]

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

and it will drip out a drop every couple seconds or so.

Never had a issue. Just flip, spray, then store ride side up.

Ok, I get what you mean. If it's no longer pressurized, it's done. Either return it if you can, or punch a hole and drain. In my experience, the Bonus Size cans stop spraying right side up with about 25% left not due to losing pressure but due to some internal valving I'm guessing. I simply spray the can upside down. Happens quite frequently.

Are your cans exposed to the cold? (I guess it gets cold in far east LA.)
I will sometimes place an aerosol can in very ,almost hot , water. Take it out occasionally and shake.

I have turned the can over, cover the bottom with a heavy rag and slightly punctured the bottom with a screwdriver. It will hiss , once it stops , you can open it up

My cans are exposed to high heat and never have I had one that would completely empty before the propellant dissipates. But a man can't live without his WD-40. lol

Hmmm...tight nuts? Sometimes I guess...

Yah I have the same issue, probably have a couple of cans I need to puncture and drain.

This is the company's excuse for an explanation.

We have covered every issue, shake, rattle and roll. Exposure to cold and hell fire temperatures . So there is definitely an issue.
