Now I know why they have all the disclaimers, who the hell would put a can
of spray paint into an oven?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I like to hold the can in a stream of hot water under the tap, and shake
it so I hear the ball rattle. This mixes the paint, thins it, and raises
the propellant pressure all at the same time.

Don't do what a friend of mine did, though. He put the spray can in a
coffee can of water, and put it on the stove to heat. Then he went
outside to talk to a friend, "just for a minute." The bottom blew out of
the spray can, and it flew like a rocket and broke the ceiling, spraying
red paint all over the area. In addition, it bulged the bottom of the
coffee can so hard against the stove grate that it broke it.
