Is there a safe way to get paint out of a clogged spray rattle can?

Asked by kelly (1918points) December 5th, 2009

I know there is paint in the can. I need just a little to finish a touch-up which I can do with a fine small brush. I have tried two new nozzles and they just fizzle at the opening and too little paint comes out for my needs. These new nozzles won’t let me relieve the pressure as they clog. I know not to puncture the pressurized can, but is there a way to relieve the pressure then cut open the can to extract the paint—safely?
