Sure wish they had said *why*.
Propellant is usually propane, ether or butane.
All very flammable.

You answered the wrong "why".

Why did he drill through the can?

I thought that was what the button on the top was for.

Man, I gotta start reading the instructions.
Unless he was huffing, probably had a clogged valve or dip tube, and he
thought the can had just lost its pressure, and was trying to salvage
the paint to apply with a brush. I know I get ****ed when a can of
whatever goes flat, but still has most of the product trapped inside.
