It's leaking around the spout where it joins to the can. I don't think
it's possible to solder a galvanised can, or is there some approach I
could take? I don't have access to brazing gear. New cans are quite
expensive and



this can is fine, apart from the leak.

ROTFLMAO

You mean that the can is ****ed.


Exactly. Plastic watering thingies are not expensive, keep one for
particular purposes (watering, weedkiller, herbicide).
My neighbour used weld galvanised steel into trailers. I warned him that
zinc fumes were at best poisonous. Cancer killed him. I would see him
late at night, welding, with fumes rising, like a sorcerer. Unless you
wirebrushed well back to what? 22 steel?..
