Getting product out of spray can (2025 Update)

Jun 10, 2019 Last reply: 8 months ago 5 Replies

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


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.

You need one of these

Wont work with most spray cans. A dremel will.
