Today's Aerosol's are crap

Is anyone else having issues with aerosol products? I swear, almost every can of paint, primer, gasket dressing, electrical contact cleaner, WD40 etc. ends up going bad with an almost full can after a couple of sprays or uses. I store this stuff in a climate controlled area.

This morning, i picked up a $24 can of weld-through primer. Got two sprays out of it before it quit spraying.

I have never experienced these problems before the last couple of years. Anyone in that industry know what has possibly changed?

As mentioned shaking the crap out of the can before use will make a big difference.
Turning them upside down and a short spray till no more paint comes out is important.
I have lots of spray and don't usually have much of a problem.
The ones I do have problems with, I puncture the can, let it air off and drain the rest into a baby food jar or similar.
Then I can throw it my detail gun and use it.

Sound like me with Silicone. Get one use and the head drys solid with 90% full tube and no way to clean the dried crap out.

Only cut the tip size to fit a smooth shank drill or an old moto tool bit in it after use.
Doing this made my RTV's last all the way to the end.

I do the same as Kendog, putting nozzles in lacquer thinner, till I use the can again.
Also when I start to use a aerosal can, I shake the hell out of it, to make sure everything is mixed up, and shake it while using it also. They seem to work better that way.
I get very few cans that won't spray, that way.
