Getting product out of spray can
 

I have a can of medical creme that I can't get out of the can. Evidently no
pressure. If I press the top down as far as it will go all I get is a drop
or two dribbling down side of can. Shaking can doesn't help. Email to
product maker several hours ago unanswered.

Paid $17 for this stuff! Any suggestions? Probably hopeless - all I can
hope for is product maker (Biolab) to replace it?

TIA

I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

It probably has no propellant. Did you try pulling the spray top off
and cleaning it? I'd soak it in some hot water, could blow it out with
an air hose if you have one. You can probably verify it's a propellant
issue by putting the can in some warm water. If more flows out when
it's warm, likely it just has no propellant. I'd think the company
would help out, send you another one.

With no pressure, I'd either drill a hole or whack it with a chisel and
hammer. At $17 I'd get it out somehow.

The question of course is how you can be sure it has no pressure?
I guess even if it does, if you put on eye protection and drove a
nail into it with a hammer outside, you might make a mess, but it's
not going to explode.

Cut and dump or spend another 17. I would buy new or exchange for new.

I think the drugstore you bought it at would exchange it for a good one.

Any good store, even not a drug store, will take your word that you
bought it recently and didn't use much**. Especially if they can feel
the stuff inside bouncing around when they shake the can.

**If the receipt is not avaialbe, a good reason for charging things.

Wont work with most spray cans. A dremel will.

IF you are sure the pressure is gone, just cut the can open. If not
sure, freeze it first - then cut the top or bottom out of the can.
Removing the bottom with a side-cutting can opener is easiest.
