It just wont squirt right :oooops: :shock:
Bought one of those big bottles with a refilable pump squirty doodar, coz I was told the aerosols are unreliable. It just spits it out without atomising it properly into a fine spray. Do you have to warm it up or only use it in the warm. Or am I missing something.

I think you're missing the atomiser lOl lOl

On a serious note, check the nozzle or go to B&Q and buy a cheap spray bottle from the garden section 8-)

Doubt you will get it to atomise at this temperature without heating it up to thin it down.The cans I've had only produce a foam similar to WD-40.

Yeah you are supposed to warm the can up slightly. Be sensible about it though.

I always spray it onto a sponge then wipe it on all the surfaces I want to protect, the aerosol cans always spray too much out and it helps to avoid over-spray onto things like brake discs.

Fill the pump spray bottle upto the mark; pump it to get pressure, boil the kettle fill a container with the hot water, plonk the spray bottle in, leave it for a minute or so to warm up and it should spray.
