I find that I cannot empty the can before the valve plugs up. Not the
nozzel but the valve in the can top Krylon seems to be the worst now.
Hate buying a can and throwing away more than half because I cannot
get anything out.


Not recently, but have had the same problem with Rustoleum.
I figured they reformulated their mixture and/or didn't like
freezing temps in my garage. I try to keep everything
someplace where it doesn't freeze now. This was ~5 years
ago. Just been buy no-name cheap stuff ever since that
amazingly hasn't had that problem so far. But I don't use it
as much as I once did either...


The usual cause is the can is simply not shaken enough before
using...

I don't think so in this case. They changed something. I
have ancient cans (30 years old) that still work. Around 10
years ago they started doing something different with them.
