How does that spray gun work? Is there a propellant in the canister?

BTW...I bought the brush on product because it was $20 a quart,
including shipping, and I knew I'd have a lot left over for other
projects. The spray version was going to cost me at least $30 just for
this project.

In hindsight, I probably should have gone with the spray.


Yep. The Preval has a replaceable propellant cartridge. There are
also compressed air rechargeable spray bottles, but I've never used
one. The Preval is nice because they're cheap enough and they work.
