rinse Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 so i did a quick inventory of supplies tonight and found about 22 full/semi-full cans of paint without caps in them. i tried mashing caps in them and 12 of them just began spitting up mad paint from the nozzle and rejecting the caps. was gonna throw them out but dont want to waste the paint, anyone ever delt with this and know any salvage techniques? yea and 12 out of the 22 cans that were missing caps are krylon... krylon... only the capless krylon cans are misbehaving, imagine that! come on yall wizards out there give me some good advice. HELP SAVE SOME CANS O'BUSTED UP KRYLON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeforAnEYE Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 that shit has happened to me. I don;t think there is much you can do. Go to a hardware store or like a wal mart and return them. faulty merchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 dont jam the cap in there, twist it in slowly ive had that same problem before and have found that this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIZENO Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Originally posted by wiseguy dont jam the cap in there, twist it in slowly ive had that same problem before and have found that this helps. thats is dead on. also try to store them with some cap in there stock or whatever ... it wont let the seal dry out as fast when its not exposed all the time. when the seal dries out and you jam a cap you will likely tear it and shove it in the opening of the valve causing an seemingly enless.

GaryColemen Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 it can depend on the temp of where ur storing ur cans, and especially with krylon and painters touch u gotta shake the shit out of the can, otherwise the valve is fucked. shit happens bottom line, this will happen, and its just the consequence of painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinse Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 originally posted by wiseguy: dont jam the cap in there, twist it in slowly ive had that same problem before and have found that this helps. yup, i can get the caps in but when it comes time to paint, the spray comes bubbles up from the valve (around the neck of the cap). the caps work fine in other cans though. pretty sure the cans are dead, maybe i'll try the return thing... only problem is you dont get receipts when you rack. hmmmm.

wiseguy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 yeah, i understand what you mean rinse, but what i mean is everytime you put a cap on a can, put it on gently, to prevent tears in the seal. this will hopefully stop your problem of paint leaking out aruond the top of the seal.

rinse Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 not sure that i've ever been too agressive when it comes to changing out caps, but i will pay special attention in the future. the vibe i am getting is that krylon cans just aren't manufactured to be very durable(yet another reason why krylon's rep is spotty). i haven't had this kind of trouble with any other brands i've used (with the exception of MAYBE one or two old cans of the cheapies but never 12 cans at a time of somewhat new/fairly full cans). i think rusto has been winning me over for awhile now.
