Seems most of the time they plug up is after they have been sitting for a year or five and somebody picks them up shakes the can for 10 seconds then expects it to work.
The paint settles and separates from the solvents in the can the same way as it does in a gallon paint can so you end up with a thick glob of paint blocking the tube if you don't mix/shake it first.
Best results with old cans is shake them good for 5 minutes, really get the marble spinning and moving around while alternating from upright to upside down.
When the 5 minutes are up do it for another 5 minutes.
If they wont spray after this I turn the can upside down and use a pair of side cutters like a can opener to pierce a hole in the can along the bottom rim, once the pressure if any is relieved make a couple more holes in the bottom rim to drain the contents out.
If it has been well shaken and is held upside down no paint will shoot out when you make the hole.
