Default 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.

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