ValleySig229 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Am I just snake bit or does everyones spray paint can nozzles break off or stop working after a couple of uses? It seems not to matter if I buy the good stuff or bargain stuff. This makes for a long day on stages with a bunch of steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 We usually get the $0.98/can stuff from Wally world and only have an occasional nozzle loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G. Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Are you purging the nozzles after use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpops Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Nothing beats a can of marking paint. No clogs and it covers the steel in a nano second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Are you purging the nozzles after use? +1. What I hate are the people who DON'T do this and waste 7/8s of the can of paint that you now can't get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohuskers Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 We use the $.98 cans as well. Never thought of the marking paint, might have to give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Bell Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Marking paint is more expensive but it rocks! We buy it in case quantities a little cheaper. Edited January 30, 2011 by Greg Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 you must clean the nozzle after using, what you do is turn the spray paint can over where the nozle is upside down(Can is on top, and nozzle is on bottom), Push the nozzle and spray, paint will come out for a few seconds. Then after a few seconds you will see it clear up to a clear substance. Then you let off the nozzle and your tip is clean and ready for the next use. Alot of people don't know this, thats why I am posting it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Marking paint is more expensive but it rocks! We buy it in case quantities a little cheaper. It really helps to know someone that is a surveyor. We tend to buy the inverted tip marking paint by the truck load. It works great...if you don't mind your poppers being Florescent Orange or Florescent Pink. Well, I do have some white, but that's just boring.
