Rust-Oleum (rustoleum) Professional "any-angle" spray issues

[tarbellb]

Has anybody else noticed any issues with the "any-angle" + "High-output" tips?

(all cans have been shaken vigorously for 1 min+ and are 50º or higher in temp)

What has happened to me on a dozen or more cans lately is that I can spray right side up for maybe half the can, but then it wont spray paint, just gas, UNTIL I spray it UPSIDE DOWN?

I can finish off the can like this, but its a PITA.

Has anybody else noticed this? Only able to spray upside down w/ half cans?

Ive probably sprayed 200 cans of this stuff over the years, usually the Flat Black (7578) Professional tall cans.

Can't say that's happened to me. Does shaking it fix the issue?

Nope, I almost feel like maybe I have shook something (feeder tube"?) loose sometimes?

Could be that the siphon tube came off the valve. The only way to tell is by cutting it open when it's got no gas pressure left.

I shouldve known there would be a Youtube video to help....

Waterjet cutting a "any-angle" can open, looks like a cloth or fabric type tube with a weak connection? Maybe I am in fact shaking the feeder loose?
