I managed to get two of them, but does anybody know where I can order a nozzle for them.

I'm gonna build a nozzle.

edit, whoops...hit the wrong button.

I'm building my nozzle because I looked high and low for one and couldn't find anything. If it turns out half way decent I will post a how to.

I realize this is an old thread and I'm digging it up but I was wondering if anyone ever built a good nozzle for these cans or found a source to buy them.

my question is did anyone ever find a gasket for them... I bought 2 on ebay recently and one of the gaskets swole up and wont seal, the seller sent me 2 more gaskets and I hope that fixes the problem...

i'm wondering if i need to make some out of nitrile rubber.

This is not where I bought mine though. I honestly cant remember where I bought mine but they were only $9ea so I picked up 2. I had to modify the catches with a BFH but they work really good and do not leak.

This place also had some gaskets but I can't seem to find them atm.

No! That site has the Wedco/NATO/Euro sized gaskets, NOT the large mouth gaskets for the cans that are the subject of this thread. Look at the pictures above then look at the pictures at the site listed above - they aren't the same cans.

To whit:

Wedco can, note the mouth is in the center and it's size compared to the can:

OK So why not head on over to Lowes and pick up some gasket material and make one? They have several types of washer material so you can make yourself one. Plus a few won't break down from the gas.
