[TheForge] OT - cleaning spray paint can nozzle-buttons

[Bruce .]

Acetone may or may not dissolve paint gunk.  When it works, it's
excellent.  It has a nasty habit of dissolving plastic!  Anyway, the
pressure and small tube of Brakleen is probably at least as important as
the nature of the solvent.
