The nozzle to my can of primer is officially clogged, with about half a can of primer still left in it. Any ideas to unclog it? Does CSC or brake fluid remove white primer?
Thanks.
Thanks.

pflau is right, carefully remove the nozzle and place it in lacquer thinner for a couple of days.

Or put another nozzle on it.

Well, the problem is worse than originally expected. I managed to get the nozzle good and clear, but the paint still wasn't flowing nicely. It seems to be getting clogged in the neck of the can (the little spout that come out) or some such place. Even with the nozzle clean, it comes out in spurt (no paint for 1-2 seconds, then 'plop!' 'plop,plop!') Very annoying. I tried removing the nozzle and placing the neck up against the side of a box, and found the same results... sometimes it flows, other times it doesn't.
So have I learned anything from this? Or am I just sitting here with half a can of $14 CAD primer and white on my fingers? Any help would be appreciated.
