Unclogging Paint Cans
 

Found this on another site. YMMV, but I'm going to try it next time the clog is in the can instead of the nozzle.

Very interesting. I'm going to try that with some old Pactra 'namel and Aero Gloss sprays that I know are full but plugged.

Paint Can Rack!
 

I know all you paint and rocket geeks are going to like this because it also accomodates household paints! It is a rattle can rack!

I gotta have that! (Or make one)

I want an original Pactra Aero Gloss Can rack. One for jars/bottles would be neat too.
I have enough cans to fill one.

I have scrap wood and a set of forstner drills .
Pactra cans just nee a smaller drill.

I think I will make one! ;)

OMG I am soooooo bored.

I made these racks over the past year. Bored? Yes ... but they come in handy. :)

1. Decal Prep Station — solutions, brushes, spray bottle, and fine tweezers
2. Sanding Sealer station — several brush sizes
3. Glue Bottle Inverter — saves time awaiting glue to run to tip
4. Small Paint Bottle holder — prevents tipovers.
5. Epoxy Bottle Inverter — see #3 above.

Will I build a Paint Rack? Yes! (But I better make the spice rack that my wife has griped about for years, and every time she digs thru a storage tote trying to find the spice she wants ...) :chuckle:

The spray paint rack looks wonderful. I just have cans stacked on the floor....

As for the "Glue Bottle Inverter"...I just use scraps of BT-55 and BT-60 for that. :D Not quite as secure, but it works.

Before I scrolled down and saw your post I was thinking Gordy will now have a new product to sell! :cool: :D

This doesn’t really apply, but I’m reminded of saying of a friend of mine who has an incredible machine shop at home.

“Why buy something readily available, when you can make it for twice the price?”

:chuckle:
