Major Figure Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Searched but couldn't find on here or google. I have cans of Painter Touch 2x that i used before, till 3/4 full, but now the valve seems to be clogged. Is there any way to unclog it?

acer910 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 put it upsidown in a jar of solvents for a while, then spray. might just be the cap tho because you cant clear the caps on painters touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Orenthal Norton Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 ive had problems with the yellows mostly. they seem to be really sensitive to heat and can lose nearly all their pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICKERISH Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Agreed with the yellows, especially strawflower. I just let it sit for a week or so and they work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alloverthetown Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 if you are referring to the new style cans, something I have noticed... if you are carrying them around in a g the stems sometimes get depressed, or damaged, I've have entire cans leak out on me in my bag. This is the only style can I save the (lids) for... pain in the ass, but since I've been more cautious of this, I haven't had as many valve issues.

Edward Orenthal Norton Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 just leave the lids on the cans. its not that hard to do. sure you lose a bit of space in your bag. but its better than losing a couple cans to bent or broken valves. personally the only down side i see to them is that your cap selection is limited. (have to use the adapter or cut up your NY fats.) the stock tip doesn't always give you the cleanest lines. otherwise its a great paint for freights or any other surface that takes a lot of abuse from the elements. its nice just having to bring 1 can for your fill instead of 2. and if you cant rack the price isn't to bad either.

..LAZRS... Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 trout has thins and fats for them, they work great and i havnt had one clog on me yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustofills Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Make a male to female mixing cap and hit the clogged cans with some warmed up gumout. Or tap the upper ring at the top of the cap a few times on something hard like the edge of a hammer. Those 2 always work. Or if you have time and dont need to use them right away just like them sit upside down for a a few days to a few weeks. That work some times. When it happened to me. I did the warm gumout and a few light taps and the can worked in less then 3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozani Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I love using painter touch, colors are dope. Great for fill in I use he pink dot with the adapter. Haven't had any problems with clogs yet, hope I never do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 sorta related but ive been experiencing loss of pressure on PT after using a sekt adapter. ive got 2 almost full cans of my new favorite colors and i cant even use them. wont spray at all. even with the stock cap or a completely new stock cap.

Edward Orenthal Norton Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 yeah i tried mixing with that thing. its a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracked Ass Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 trout has thins and fats for them, they work great and i havnt had one clog on me yet ^^^ THIS x10!! I shouldn't set a bad example by posting a link to advertising on here but the Trout fats and thins are the shit for these cans (and all of the female Accents as well). Just search on Trout Art Supply I think is the name for mail order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 the guy who runs it posts in here... if i cant get my hand on some of those caps im just going to keep onto my old rustos and mix the PT colors into empty rusto cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDubz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 yeah i tried mixing with that thing. its a joke i did it today. worked fine. its just a matter of trial and error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Shit i hate...... I was out doing my shit one time and i the cans fell out of my bag breaking the cap. Leaving the stem in the valve. 2 full cans Sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Sec Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've had the same thing happen on a tall rusto can (not PT2x). Brand new can...sprayed it once and nothing came out. Should I try leaving it upside down for a few days or smack the hell out of the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Orenthal Norton Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 and industrial or the 33% mores? i love both of those cans. never had a problem with either. until the other night when a flat black industrial somehow started sputtering than lost all pressure with a quarter of a can left. but if i was ever stuck with one paint for the rest of my life it would be rusto.

OinkArtLtdDotCom Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Sorry i'm late to this thread, took a serious hiatus from 12oz and had a customer tell me i needed to get back on here due to speculation on this and that, so here i is :) ok so RE: PT2x clogging: apparently this is a common problem, since i started selling Rusto PT2x i've had this happen with a few customers (literally 8 cans out of nearly ... 6,000 or so sold) and my Rusto salesman authorized exchanges nearly instantly. Apparently, Rustoleum knows that the amount of pigment in the cans with a standard rusto valve (although male valve system, it's not a 'new valve' like a euro can or whatever, it's the same valve as on other rusto cans) can lead to clogging in the uptake stem. Due to this they are allowing exchanges, primarily because it hardly ever happens. He said "please ask the customers to shake a lot before and during use, and to spray the can upside down to try to clear it if it clogs". Most writers are aware of this and will already do it, but something to keep in mind. Also if you buy the cans from us we will honor an exchange or refund with sufficient proof of not working. Please don't file false claims though on cans that worked fine and you're just trying to get over, my salesman will eventually block us from buying PT2x and this would be a loss for everyone, as we're the only place you can get the full color range and the cheapest price. Also it's *not* because of the SEKT adapter as far as i know. we've done a lot of research and from our experience this can happen with the PT2x stock cap, female caps, or the SEKT adapter, it's not something that happens solely due to using the adapter on these cans. Also my salesman said if you bought from a Home Depot/Lowes/etc they should authorize a return. Racking cans then returning the clogged ones for an exchange??? .... Oh let's do it!!

markg Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 yo ive had this happen on 4 or 5 cans outta a hundred or so... but also have some cans that have fucked up pressure, like none at all!.. and one can that only worked if it was held upside down. the new cans can really suck,the lighter colors are pretty watery for rusto. :mad: mostly problem with cans with not enough pressure. and i use the tout caps and shake cans....The cans are cheaply made, but decent paint. all ive ever used was the painters touch line, so this saddens me.

Rustofills Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 All you need to do is TAP the bottom of the can on something hard to knock the clogged pigments out of the stem. If that dosnt work try either Heating or Cooling the can and do it again. Heating =( Let can sit in some water that was just at the boiling point for a few 2 minutes ) Cooling =( Leave in the freezer over night ) There is anotherr way to clear the stem But that require's those adapter sockets and another can. Basically you would be acting like you were going to mix the cans. You take the clogged can and freeze it, and you take a heated can as a feeder to force blow the shit out of the stem.
