Can of PB Blaster went "limp" from laying on its side... sheeeeyit...

[fixizin]

After decades of never buying WD-40... but always having several cans on hand... because peeps kept giving me theirs after they bought PB-Blaster... I decided to treat myself to the big PB--fancy can with the swing-nozzle, used it ONCE, and SO MUCH better results than WD-40, BUT... riding around in the bed-box, somehow it tipped over on its side for a couple months, and apparently all the propellant leaked out, but not the PB-juice itself, still 95% full, but only after extreme shaking can I get maybe a single drop to eek out! Frustrating!

SOOOooo... do I leave it out in the hot sun every time I want to use it, hoping that pressurizes the 0.1 cc of propellant left?... or just punch holes in the can and drain it all into some kind of hand-powered spray-bottle?

protect your eyes, even limp cans can squirt a couple feet when punctured.

is it really limp, like you can dimple the can with your hand pressure, or just plugged up?

Cool trick

Take off cap/push nozzle

Put new tire air stem over metal nipple on can

Charge with compressor

Works almost every time.

I can dimple the can... and just a faint whooshing sound when button pushed... but solid tip about EYE protection!...

... now I just have to find a spray bottle that won't be dissolved by the PB... something tells me the dollar store specials I use for 91% alcohol and hydrogen peroxide might not cut it... do they still make those old-timey metal oil-cans with the trigger-pump?

What PJ said about pressurizing it with air does work, I've done it with spray paint until the tube really plugged...

It sounds like you just got a defective can...

I’d jus poke a hole in it and pour it into another container, like an old style pump oil can. Use as normal. I’ve had cans of WD go flat after just sitting too long. It happens.

We’re so spoiled by aerosol cans.

Pb always loses pressure, even sitting up. I dont know why or how though.


I have it and use it alot but after sitting in the ac'd garage for to long, its dead

The air it up method works, those cans are supposed to hold 90 psi, but I'd do half that to be safe.

Half of my cans have no spray tips. All it has to do is be anything except perfectly upright, tip flies off...usually in a broken manner so I cant pop it back on or use the can...most of the time I will try 50 different from other cans, none will work. I shoot a lot of cans.
