    I drive a screw into the end of the nozzle and then unscrew it when I need to reuse it.

    unscrew nozzle, cling-film or thin plastic over end of tube then screw the nozzle back on, then add a screw or nail in the nozzle end.


    Will still go off if left long enough.


    Remove pressure before removing nozzle!
