i read a tip in here somewhere about how to cure the ca tip self sealing pain in arse prob after ya open it and later cant get cap off......well if ya hold it upright and squeeze it in a rag to clear nozzle after use then DO NOT put cap on and leave it on yur bench open...it works jus fine for weeks after. i tried it and i have no more stuck caps... -Tinman-
