As an alternative, it might be easier to keep the can on the

equivalent, attach it to the can nozzle, and spray from the
ground. If you need additional lift, use an air compressor to help
move the spray contents towards the ceiling.


Or you could just tie a bit of smouldering rope/rag/cigar/other
combustible to the end of a long pole...


.... and hope the smoldering stuff doesn't get caught on something
combustible attached to the ceiling and set the damn church on fire.

Have you ever been at the bottom of a 40-foot pole with a weight on the
top, trying to guide it somewhere? It ain't easy.
