Many spray cans will have a small black mark on the top rim. That is lined up with the pickup tube at the bottom of the can. Aim your nozzle in line with the black mark and as long as you are tipping the can forward slightly you can spray until it is empty. If you need to spray in an upward...

Waste of time and effort. Just roll the can while spraying to figure out where the pickup line is, then twist the nozzle so it works. I find it amazing and baffling that everybody doesn't already know this intuitively. But I also am the type to unscrew the cap on the ketchup bottle and use a...
