Has anyone noticed this??

Hi all - Recently I started a couple of old Monogram Curtiss biplane kits, =I was planning on bashing some of them into similar, unmodeled experimental= versions, like a P-20, P-22, P-23, etc. I planned on using ordinary rattle=can paints. When I reached for the Model Master Yellow, it came out in a ve=ry wide cone that was about 60-degrees (as oppised to the tighter, maybe 20=-degree cone of "normal" rattlecan paints) and with about half the pressure= of (ahain) "normal" cans. Thinking that there was something wrong with tha=t particular can, I got out another can from my stash and found it to deliv=er the same thing. The paint covers - eventually, but because of the wider =spray, I wasted a lot of paint in overspray. These paints were bought at th=e same time, about six months ago and yes, I DID shake them up throughly.Has anyone here ever noticed this effect before or did I get the brass ring=?And short of decanting the paint ito a jar for my own airgun, how do I keep= it from happening again?Thanks,John Braungart

I found mine at Michaels and have seen it at A.C. Moore's and one local hardware chain.

I have one of the radiant oil heaters in my man cave/hobby room. This past winter I just rested the can on the heater for a few minutes, checking constantly. When it was almost to hot to touch it was ready.
