I know this sounds odd, but let it dry out overnight, and then mount it into the cutting head backwards.  Shoot is a couple times to see if you can get it unclogged.  This usually works, but if it doesn't...you're out of options.

Good Luck,
Tim

You can also take a drill bit that is samll enough in diameter to fit into the tube and gently twist it till the abasive loosens up. I have also ran the mixing tube backwards in the machine and gave it a cpl of shots and that unclogged the tube too.
