It's not too tough a thing to learn...I quote from the can:


"GREAT STUFF can seal itself shut. One time use should be expected."


Of course, it also says:


"If product does not flow easily, do not force product from can."


How exactly would one *force* the product from the can if one wanted
to? You pull the trigger and it either flows or it doesn't. It's not
like you can get behind the product and push it through the
applicator.


Drill the can or nozzle. *Not a good idea.


IMHO that does not qualify as "forcing the product from the can".

All that might do is open a new pathway for the product to follow on
it's own, but there is no "forcing" on the part of the user.
