 WC Iowa | i agree that would be nice to buy new tips. I tend to use alot of Van Sickle, rustolium or Deere paint so i have saved quite a few of the new tips off cans and use a good used tip off of another can I just emptied. I really like the tips deere paint cans have and they fit van sickle cans (they both have a male tip/female can). Also Deere brake cleaner has the same tip setup and size hole so as soon as im done with the can of paint, I do the upside down clear the tip then put the paint tip on the brake cleaner can and blow the tip and the top of the can with a shot of brake cleaner. If a can is plugged ill use the brake cleaner open tip to help flush the can open.
Rustolium and some other types of paint use a female tip and male can so i have 3M brake cleaner that matches that setup. If i shoot the tip clean with brake cleaner you will rarely have any problems anymore, as I have multiple butter containers full of differnet unused tips from new cans for the occasions someone else uses my paint without clean-out. Glad to hear someone has the same hate for plugged cans of paint that I do. | |
