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

I like the lower pressure of Butane. Could probably do the same thing with "canned air", but I've never tried it. I have a dead can of hornet spray. Was all set to put some Butane in it...then got to thinking how it would feel when the can of poison exploded in my face. Some things aren't worth the risk of fixing 'em. ;-) === It has been posted several times. He used it to repressure paint cans with a propane bottle.

Bob The disadvantage is that its pressure depends on how well it dissolves in the liquid in the can, and the relative quantities of product and propane which you can't easily determine or control. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoult's_law "If a non-volatile solute (zero vapor pressure, does not evaporate) is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution, the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the pure solvent." If it doesn't dissolve the pressure may exceed 200 PSI. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pr...re-d_1020.html -jsw |

Yet, you're putting 2 liquids in a can, one could dissolve in the other. But it's moot if the original propellant was propane, which I assume it was. Moot because you're just doing what the factory did. Bob |

That holds true with C02 as well, but pressure does fluctuate with temperature. Well, yeah but ... the vapor pressure of CO2 at room temperature is about 900 psi, IIRC. Whereas for propane it's 100 psi, again IIRC. |

Well, yeah but ... the vapor pressure of CO2 at room temperature is about 900 psi, IIRC. Whereas for propane it's 100 psi, again IIRC. The vapor pressure of CO2 dissolved in soda water is much lower, as is that of acetylene dissolved in acetone. Unless you make a connecting hose with a pressure gauge and shutoff valve you don't know how much pressure the can should have, or how much you are adding. When I did this in college I tested the pressure by denting the can with my thumb, which I can just barely do at the original factory pressure. I used a little fitting that jammed into the stem of one can and sealed with a taper in the stem of the other, and pressed them together with the butane on top. |
