Hmmm...this shouldn't happen. It sounds to me that the nozzle is somewhat clogged. Keep testing on something other than the component or anything important you want to spray. If you still have problems, throw out the can and get a new one.
I've used spray cans often and restored many components this way. When spraying paint, may it be from a can or a spray gun, when starting to spray, spray into the air and empty space beside the part you want to paint, then glide the spray over the area to be sprayed in a thin layer and keep repeating this, waving back and forth, always guiding the spray over the panel back into empty space. This method avoids getting too much paint on the surface in a blob and creating runs.

Sounds like the nozzle is clogged or not fitted properly. You can put it off and put it back on making sure it is in properly. Or if you have another can, try replacing it. *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
