Recharge an aerosol can?

That's right--blame the victim.

See my prior post #81.

'Nuff sed..

 

Yes, exactly. Or, as a someone once said: "If you argue with a fool, who's the bigger fool?"

Thanks for the link to Bonhoeffer's quotes, there's a lot of profound wisdom there.

I guess that we're supposed to believe that all of those millions of aerosol cans are manufactured with insufficient propellent INTENTIONALLY, or maybe those who calculate the propellent to product ratios for the manufacturers are stupid and/or incompetent.

 

Obviously there are many possible --additional--explanations.

Products always talk about ' number of user applications' or 'portion size' in ways that are vastly unlike the use scenarios. The extra liquid in the can may be beyond that spec'ed by the number of applications. Likely consumers would be far more irritated by running out of the liquid product BEFORE running out of gas.

We have extra stuff wasted all the time. For example: it is virtually impossible to totally empty a tube of tooth paste. That doesn't have anything to do with the competency of those using it to brush their teeth.

This video recognizes that the extra liquid in the can may be accessed by an easy re-fill of gas. Some people like to not indulge in a 'throw away culture', or want their money's worth . This video is for them.

 

I'm sorry...what?

 

In the 60's, there used to be spray cans filled with sugary syrup, that you 'blasted' into a glass of milk, essentially to make milk shakes. Such as chocolate; strawberry.

One brand was called 'blast-off'. Here is another...

'Big Shot'

Essentially these were intended to get kids to drink their milk, but likely just contributed to incipient diabetes in later life.

Weird but true.

 

For those who are worried about the safety of repressurizing spray cans: a 100 ms Google search reveals the maximum pressure spray cans are designed and tested for. The 100 psi used in this video is absolutely safe.

 

This reminds me of the infamous question: How hard can I squeeze the trigger before the gun goes off?
Be safe, Think safe

 

I have done similar in the past but with a different twist. get a full can of compressed air duster which is much cleaner than air from a air compressor .
put the red straw into both spray tips and press both at the same time and the pressure will equalize ,

 

Next time buy two cans and stop trying to fix everything with a squirt of "technician in a can"

My telephone co-worker used to call contact spray cleaner "spray and pray". This puts another perspective on that.

 

Anytime, Most true heroes are forgotten in this day and age.

 

Holly crap, lol.

 

I also believe it's a bit dangerous to do this, but
there are braver men than I.
Poke 2 holes in the can, drain into a spray bottle.
You can get those at the dollar store.

 

I may try this with Redi-Whip.
