Spray paint can nozzles

Is it me and advancing age? Or did the paint can Mfrs. increase the pressure
required to operate the standard paint spray can nozzle? I seem to remember
that I could just about empty a can before my finger got a permanent dent.
Now I don't get 1/4 of the can before my forearm goes into seizure and my
finger is in pain.

I don't have that problem but all spray can paint I can find isn't work
a ****. Remember when spay can paint was worth using?

How well I know the problem!......and the solution!

These are available at most paint and hardware stores.

Makes painting with rattle cans a pleasure.

Only warning: If you shake the can with the handle attached,
make sure that the nozzle hole is pointed away from you when you
start spraying again.

Thanks for the info on a great looking product.

BTW, in case anyone reading this is unawa At least in humid climates
like Florida, rattlecan paint never seems to air-dry really hard. The
solution it to let it air-dry for the recommended drying time and then
"bake" it overnight. It doesn't need to be very hot, 20 degrees above
ambient is more than enough, so a 100 watt light bulb in a large insulated
box is sufficient.
