I agree! I always turn mine upside down until the product stops coming out...just the air. This clears out the nozzle and stops it from gumming up.

That's pretty impressive. I'm surprised they don't just mail out a new nozzle. That tells me they really care about their customers and want them to be happy.

Thanks Ladies ... for the tips and hints.
I'm heading to the sewing room shortly and will try, try again!

Terrific customer service from the companies that replaced your products.

They emailed me back within a couple of days and said they periodically get a defective batch of nozzles, and they mailed me a brand new can for free. I was a happy camper after that.

I only use 505 too, but have often had to stick a pin in the spray hole and then wash it(the hole) with a damp cloth and it has worked. However, next time I will contact the seller as I usually order online...I don't think it's unusual for these sprays to stop working....
