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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |
