The can of Great Stuff foam sealer is clogged at the tip after
one use. In order to unclog it, I will face the can tip down on
a concrete surface and push down on the can with my full
weight. This breaks the seal and the can is reusable. I have
used a paper clip to clean foam off the can's nozzle, but it
doesn't work and doesn't seem safe.
I have a feeling that this can will get stuck forever. Is there
a practical way to prevent it from clogging in the future?
Thanks

The instructions right on the can say that you should use the entire
contents within 2 hrs of opening and to expect one time use. The 'stuff
also has an expiration date.

Using it is the only sure way. I've also had to throw away a number of
out dated cans (not Great Stuff) where an unused can would not start.
Be sure to use eye protection whenever using this product.

Use plastic gloves as well as eye protection. If you get Great Stuff
on your hands, it takes three days to scrape it off.
