This is a BIGGIE, this should be done to every aerosol used. There are a few once in a while that have some sort of pickup tube where this can't be done, you will know it pretty quick because it keeps spraying something.
Honestly, this is so common it's crazy. I was a paint rep for a while and would go through the returns at the warehouse. The boxes and boxes of aerosol cans! And I could grab one and shake it up a bit and then spray it upside down and the clog would be pushed out by just air right, because the pickup tube is at the very bottom, and if it's upside down that pickup tube is in air only. So it clears out the tube and nozzle. I would do this to about any can I wanted.

Thanks so much I will try those methods you mentioned. I always when finished with any spray can , I would turn up side down and spray until no paint would show to prevent any clogs, but I will try to shake the weld primer good and let sit up side down as you mentioned
