What am I doing wrong when attaching the can to a metal foam insulation gun?

Here is the issue I purchase one of the metal spray foam insulation guns , such as great stuff.

The first can goes on ok and when empty it comes off ok, I then clean the gun with the cleaner.

But when I try and put on the second one the cartridge foam leaks out at the attachment cage. Tried to tighten or loosen the can but no luck.

I know it is something I am doing as I have purchased several guns which work fine with the first canister but not with the second.
Is there a seal that comes off when I remove the first spent can? is there a special tool to tighten the can more?

Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful

Hummm, I use those all the time, I don't even clean them between cans, just spin and go.
I've shot over a hundred cans out of mine and it's still going strong.
Try doing it without cleaning it between cans and see if you get the same result.
