Where do you find these 'cans' from which "a squirt of butane or
propane from the can" may be produced? All the propane and butane
that I've seen comes in pressurised containers.

Or am I being silly - can you get little cans of propane/butane for
filling lighters (which is where we came in).

Yes, cans of lighter gas are butane, and you can squirt liquid butane
from them. But this is of little use as a degreasing solvent - yes the
butane will dissolve the grease, but it will evaporate very shortly
afterwards, leaving the grease behind. A degreasing solvent needs to
carry away the grease it has dissolved in order for it to be useful.
