Practical uses for air guns. LOL.

Worth a chuckle. I would just wrap a shop-rag around an awl and push
it through...

You've see Bob's rattle can adapter haven't you?

It has been posted several times. He used it to repressure paint cans
with a propane bottle. Was in this discussion/thread for one:

Depress nozzle on can, apply rubber tipped blow gun and add compressed
air. Done.

At least for WD40, oils and solvents. Air might might make paint harden
in the can, so propane might have an advantage there.


How about using your argon? Everybody has argon around the shop.
