Your presentation was very thorough, clear and professional. I challenge anyone to attempt to match the depth and transparency of instruction this guy just displayed in this video. I don't think there's many people left in the world these days that could pull it off. Couldn't get much closer to flawless than this really thank you very much for the smart and safe idea and great work my friend, I will definitely be subscribing and liking and sharing this video and your channel.
There is a can opener, mine is battery operated, that cuts thru the side & top/bottom parts of the can evenly, with no sharp edges, also allows the top or bottom to be neatly replaced almost invisibly, but still capable of removal. I bought mine at W-Mart for under $20.00. Works great esp if can or top is wanted for secondary purpose. I found it on a hanging display in the kitchen dept.
This was some brilliant inspiration. Without seeing this video I would never have considered reusing a spray can in this fashion. Having checked the other videos on this type of project I can see why you advise people not to do it that way. This is a fantastic idea. I just wanted to take the time to properly thank you for this and the other videos you have on your channel. There are so many channels that aren't worth watching. I'm glad that yours is not one of them.
In India we used this technique 15 years back...the pvc & epoxy for the long run will not make it as of mixing thinner will take it down..we just made a hole used valve that’s all works fine..for resuse of paint we jst used 20 ml thinner with syringe shake it spray it on empty surface & the spray can is ready to be used with other colors...45 psi is good to go as regular spray can does...many thanks
The thing about PVC fittings is that the cups are tapered to promote a good glue weld the farther the pipe is stuffed into it (PVC primer softens the surface which makes that tapered cup weld to the pipe). That's why its important to hold the joint together for a few seconds so the glue can set up enough to keep that tapered cup from forcing the pipe out . Since E6000 doesn't set up as fast as PVC glue, you really should clamp the can down inside the cup of that PVC fitting so it doesn't slip out while E6000 Is still all gooey and slippery.
Like your idea of using PVC. What if just replace the entire tube portion of the spray can with PVC. Find a way to secure top of the can to PVC tube like what you do with 3 bolts. So all need be done to replace the head is cut out another spray can to replace warn out plastic head.
Hi, a moderately skilled individual should be able to make himself a safe version of this project, the unskilled, will eliminate himself... Great solution, well explained, Pierre
I enjoy your videos. Your instructions are very thorough. A comment about this project. How many times have you encountered a spray can (with paint) where the tip clogged, and all efforts to unclog the tip failed, which rendered the can and contents useless...I've had this happen even after following the procedure of inverting the can and spraying briefly to clear the nozzle.. It would be a shame to make this project only to have the nozzle get hopelessly clogged..
If you invert the can after each use, you should be fine(for paint). I have had problems with spray nozzles in the past. The solution was to pull one off another can. :-) It is fairly easy for me to swap out to a new can as well. Thanks For Watching!
Tried that, it did not work well at all, and besides you cannot do that for this project. The end of the can needs to have 1 1/2 - 2" removed off the bottom, so cutting it clean is no good. Thanks For Watching!
More often than not a "used" aerosol can is not empty but stopped working because of the crappy nozzles on it. How to be certain nothing is left in the can is the problem before proceeding with this wonderful project. Is there a really "safe/foolproof" method of cutting that can open? What about wrapping in a towel? I think I'd better investigate a bit more thoroughly. Great video. I hope to try this soon for a pepper spray weapon. Thanks. Btw, can I just buy a nozzle and make my own can? Hmmm.
wouldnt it be a bad idea to use any thing other than a hacksaw to remove bottom? I think any sparks at all may cause a small explosions even with an "emptied" can
If the can is completely empty, once you cut into it, if any remaining isopropane ignites, the pressure would be released through the hole made in the can. Start with a hacksaw.
this is certainly a good demostration. and i like it Let me ask if i want to make a can from scratch , how can i make that exit valve and nozzle (the valve that is exiting paint)
How long are the fingers on your hands......CAN ...plus the PVC tube length.....you could install the valve before gluing the CAN and PVC tube....easier ......wonder why nobody commented about the difficulty in doing it your method....??
+stephencarlsbad You can, but the liquid will always be in the valve. When pressurizing, you MUST lay the can on its side with the valve facing up, otherwise the contents of the can may spray back at you.
Great video but I wonder if it would be better to just fill the can with air using the valve on top and use pop rivets to mount the PVC to the can? Just a thought
electronicsNmore I was thinking once you expanded the rivit it would be tight enough to seal. I like your design but I think im gonna give the rivits a try.
electronicsNmore we must be talkin about two different rivits because the rivits i use have a solid "nail" there is no hole. However there is a possibility of it leakin if the nail doesn't pull tight enough inside of the expansion sleeve and create a good seal. If i get around to makin it I'll let you know how it works out.

The cans as stock (?) are good to somewhere north of 100 for sure, but I think I’d like to see some repetitive destructive testing before filling a modified can to any pressure.
You still have to be able to fill the can with what you want. It's not all about the valve stem. Everybody has a comment about something stupid. It's not all about refilling the valve through the stem. It's about using the can over and over for different liquids.
Wouldnt it have been easier to sand/scuff up the can while it was still, a can. You know roughly where your going to be cutting so figure it would be easier to sand with pressure behind the metal.

Where can I get the "Standard Valve Stem" shown at 11:35 of the video? Neither Amazon or Home Depot searches show a result other than the one actually used in the video.
Because the nozzle isn't a very large opening, it lasts quite a while. If it gets too low, all it takes is just a few pumps. Less paint in the can, and more compressed air, allows longer use.

The moving ball doesn't have to be taken out. And u don't have to cut the can!!! Just melt the rubber off of a valve stem then tin it with solder.. then drill a hole in the cape of the top of the can at an angle. Then u just solder the brass valve stem part in the cape of the can. And then now u have a refillable can just unscrew the sherdder valve fill it with your liquid of choice and put it back in and fill with air
Not a good idea to fill the spray can with liquid through a very small opening. As soon as you attempt to fill the can, it will run out of the stem making a big mess. Thanks for watching
Ok have it your way and all bulky and not practical. I just took the brass piece of a valve stem and drilled a hole on the cans cape. If you know what the cape of the can is. It's the part that curves and crimps the top of the can to the body. And put my brass valve stem in and soldered it.. and I fill it up with whatever mixture I choose thru the valve stem with no mess at all. Then put my shredder valve in fill with 65-90 Psi and have a can that's not bulky and took five min to make.. if you don't get what I am explaining. Look up on RUclips spray can 3000 and he makes it the same way that I explained and it's simple and doesn't get in the way like yours
@@electronicsNmore Very good point. You are correct, it would leave the rim. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. Your way is the better /correct way.
All cans are marked..IE. A Rustolium can is marked DOT2T...The spec is... Minimum burst pressure is 240 psig. Maximum buckle/distortion pressure is 160 psig. Pressure greater than 140 psig up to 160 psig @ 130 degrees F.... That is the USA standard....
I understand that kiddo it's just info.. Even with a spraygun too much pressure can push out product at to fast a rate..Especially with thin product like WD40.
If the Thermos is a high quality, thicker gauge all stainless steel bottle with a stainless threaded cap, more than likely yes, but no guarantee. If you decide to make one, it's at your own risk. Thanks for watching!
I would have loved to see you fish the valve out of the side of the can. I suspect there was a whole lot of shaking and peeping going on. I dunno, I'll give you this... you're not lazy...but I suspect using this contraption with paint would be so messy unscrewing that big cap and paint running out, getting into the threads and everywhere. Can't imagine the cleanup if paint is used. Harbor Freight sold a refillable aerosol spray can made from aluminum and I have had it a long time. It is a super duper can but I think it isn't available anymore. It only cost about 8 bucks as I remember, maybe a little cheaper but it is greatness. Anybody else have one or remember them?
It does last a while. Keep in mind, if you would like a constant pressure for use UNDER 80 degrees F(between 75 & 80 Deg F yields around 50psi) , you can always pick up a can of isobutane cooking fuel at a camping supply store and make a refill adapter from the can to the refillable spray canister using an old air pump hose. Isobutane is what is commonly used in spray cans. :-). Just remember like most spray cans, isobutane is flammable. Thanks For Watching!
@@electronicsNmore ADD/ADHD are neither real, nor treatable. Internet-diagnosing people over one sentence (that you take offense to) is very impolite, and a clear sign of weakness and a flawed juvenile character. There ... I internet-diagnosed you back. How do you like it now.
+stephencarlsbad Hi Stephen. 2 part epoxy is not really flexible and will not seal good under pressure. Use E-6000 or clear silicone glue. 30 - 40 psi is fine for spraying pesticides. Never pressurize over 50 psi. Thanks For Watching!
That wouldn't matter the stem is sealed the can is turned upside down to fill.Once half filled with liquid and air,the air will still force down on the liquid when the can is turned upright.You can also leave the mixing ball in the can.Try it.
Once again, bad idea. Once the can drops to a low pressure level, and you connect to the valve to re-pressurize, some of the contents will likely leak out. It is also not a good idea keeping the valve submerged all the time. Do as you wish, but my way is better.
You still have to turn the can over to re-pressurize it.Liquid on the internal side of the valve stem doesn't matter.You can also put a weight on the plastic tube that goes from the spray head to the bottom of the spray can.That will hold the feed tube to the bottom of the can to ensure that all of the spray can content is used.Try it.
we run 90psi in the irrigation system where i work. all pvc no problems. also im sure my propane powered potato gun is well over that when i fire it. also pvc
Glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists for other great videos of interest to you and most importantly share my channel with many others. I have a similar video below that you should also enjoy. Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/YZgE4d3mksA/видео.html

I thought of that, and it would make life much easier if you wanted to swap out the can, but I had concerns about the valve being at or below the liquid level in the can.
Good, but I refill them without adding a hole. I force the propane or CO2 right through the valve. It's a little slower, but less messy. And with whipped cream cans, they use nitrous oxide, which has the same pressure as CO2. Whippets and CO2 cartridges are available at sporting goods stores. Crossman cartridges can be used, but there is oil in them, so no good for some products... but why drill a hole in the side of the can?
Your way can be very messy. Forcing the liquids through the valve? As liquids flow in, the air needs to escape otherwise when pressure builds, you will have the liquids shooting right back at you. My way also allows for easy cleaning of the can. The hole in the side of the can makes pressurization a cinch. Thanks For Watching!
Don't cut your hand and don't blow metal filings/shavings on your face and later wipe/itch your eyes (Apx.: time in clip was 8:00). Oh and keep the glue out of your nose.
+ZEGHAMRI MOHAMMED Just what I was looking for, refillable paint spray cans that don't cost a fortune! Very good video! I want to ask if you know anything about Moorack Car Spray Miracle? Found it on google, feel free to do it too, but can't decide if it is worth it or just better stick to the "old" methods.
OH MY GAWD....I watched the whole thing.....you need a kat to run the the view every once in awhile or something.......However, I did find it interesting. I don't even know I how got to start watching the refill videos. I wish you'd of show a spray tip working. I've never seen that particular spray tip work that way. Also if you've used paint, did you have to thin it? Now to thin oil, I usually use acetone, but that would mess with the PVC, would use turpentine. Anyway.......thanks for the video and get a kat, a mouse, a turtle for stage effect. I'll up you and subscribe......
Kent Rockwood Tyler Home Depot has a unit with a one time aerosol use. For oil base paint it recommends 1 part mineral spirits to 4 parts material. worked good until I ran out of air. @ $4 a pop I am looking for something like this.
When spraying oil I usually use Toluene at about half and half. It works well because it causes the surface to flash over pretty fast, meaning no runs. Yet the surface is still 'open' enough to let it flatten out. I'd be concerned that Toluene would melt the pvc. I saw that one you were talking about at Home Depot. Is think this is worth a try, but I wish he'd of shown it actually spraying. The E6000 can be bought online on Amazon or at Michaels. I dunno Tony, this seems to be the best one I've seen. Like I saw, I came across it by accident. I know there are fancy systems around, but they are very expensive and are used by specialty paint stores.
Tony Lopez true. The preval is a nice convenience item, but gets expensive quickly and over time. This interested me but after watching and drinking coffee, even with my spare little compressor (3gal Craftsman oil-type), a moisture/oil separator and a little touch up gun (super low buck at harbor freight) I can have something that does a better job with no prep time, easy cleanup, and any material compatible. Sure, it's like $20 for moisture separator and $10-$20 for the gun, but... what's your time worth?! It's an excellent idea and project, but it won't put up with automotive lacquer thinner clean ups and isn't long term or as versatile. It's ok for some things to be bought. I'm a pro remodeler and mega diy mechanic and fabricator; my time is worth something and this cool little project will cost me more money in time to build than it will cost me to buy, and I'll have something very very useful for years to come and no searching for new nozzles when they plug.
Well, the HD unit I bought was too expensive. I went & bought a refillable unit on Amazon for $16. Haven't used it yet but it is a metal spray can so any thinning agent will work. You're right about the separator. Glad you mentioned it. Thanks for the input. Very useful.
Pretty good considering I don't get one cent from the company for advertising. :-) I wish I could get free advertising. I'm telling you exactly how it was made, so of course I will tell you every place I used the E-6000. LOL
I love seeing disclaimers. Idiots will always ignore them and do what they want. I look forward to morons claiming they hurt themselves. Nice tutorial. I like your design.
No danger if properly made, and the pressure is kept below 50psi. You must be accustomed to watching all those other RUclips videos giving out bad ideas/information. Clearly if an individual is not skilled with tools and their hands, they would not make this.
An excellent clear adhesive. Oil and gas resistant. Be sure to check out my extensive video playlists for other great videos of interest to you, rate thumbs up, and share.
It's not just about refilling it with air and much easier. It's about using the can over and over with different liquids for your own purpose. Pay attention
Don't know about the method this guy used, it is interesting though, would be easier and faster to fill, especially for paint or something. But I only use mine for bulk WD-40 or similar things. I use the method shown in the video linked below (which is much easier to make, but a little harder to fill) and have never had a problem, and it works great. I usually use one of the WD-40 variety cans as they have the nice foldable straw cap, and I pump the can to around 95 psi, which is far below what the "failure rating" for even the cheapest aerosol cans, which is around 200 psi. As they are required to compensate for pressure that would be created if the can is left in a vehicle on a hot summer day or etc. ***DISCLAIMER: With that said, this is just my own experience. I do NOT advise Anyone to make Any modifications to any can or other vessel. If you do so, you do it at Your Own Risk.*** Link to other refill can method: ruclips.net/video/doLPFPeJ6JE/видео.html
I was probably being a jerk. It is a good video, hell I haven't even done a video of any kind and I'm an artist and stuff and have lots to say..........erm.......
LOL. Good luck filling up the can through the 5/32" opening in the Schrader valve with the core removed, not to mention some solvents will damage the valve seats.That idea is pretty stupid.
That E6000 is garbage( imo) I prepped many objects for that adhesive to perform as it should but it never has. The answer is go ahead and just squeeze some out onto some paper or glue two pieces of wood or plastic together it's ridiculous. Crap is like plado it doesn't harden at all
This is rediculous...wow. If you want to re-use a can use the other guys video where all you need is a tire valve stem, or just go buy a $10 pressure sprayer from home depot/lowes.
Far from ridiculous. :-) The other video expects you to fill the can through the valve. LOL. Good luck with that, not to mention the valve seal will be destroyed in no time at all. My idea's far better.

The thing about PVC fittings is that the cups are tapered to promote a good glue weld the farther the pipe is stuffed into it (PVC primer softens the surface which makes that tapered cup weld to the pipe). That's why its important to hold the joint together for a few seconds so the glue can set up enough to keep that tapered cup from forcing the pipe out . Since E6000 doesn't set up as fast as PVC glue, you really should clamp the can down inside the cup of that PVC fitting so it doesn't slip out while E6000 Is still all gooey and slippery.
I've been around for many years and never would have even thought about this. Good video, thanks.

I use it for homemade penetrants and pest control, so no ball. For paint, the nozzle would have to be the right one, or it will not spray correctly.

Look up on RUclips spray can 3000 and he makes it the same way that I explained and it's simple and doesn't get in the way like yours
Co check out the video on sixtyfiveford RUclips channel. Called how to make a refillable aerosol can
@@jamesduffy9756 LOL. I've seen it.
@@jamesduffy9756 His method of filling is lousy(he said now the hard part). LOL Over time the valve will not seat properly.
Do paints spray properly at these low PSIs?
As long as the correct nozzle is used, yes. Thanks for watching!
This would make for a good drinking game, every time he says E6000.
😂
A electric can opener works also. Or a manual can opener.
No, it leaves the metal rim on the bottom. Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore Very good point. You are correct, it would leave the rim. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. Your way is the better /correct way.
thanks for taking safety your highest priority .
Thought we would see a demo with paint.
I only used it for pest control.
All cans are marked..IE. A Rustolium can is marked DOT2T...The spec is...
Minimum burst pressure is 240 psig.
Maximum buckle/distortion pressure is 160 psig.
Pressure greater than 140 psig up to 160 psig @ 130 degrees F....
That is the USA standard....
Yes, but for what I made, you keep it low. Thanks for watching!
I understand that kiddo it's just info.. Even with a spraygun too much pressure can push out product at to fast a rate..Especially with thin product like WD40.
Yeah, cool video! Interesting project!
Thanks For Watching!
Can you use coffee thermas
If the Thermos is a high quality, thicker gauge all stainless steel bottle with a stainless threaded cap, more than likely yes, but no guarantee. If you decide to make one, it's at your own risk. Thanks for watching!

I would have loved to see you fish the valve out of the side of the can. I suspect there was a whole lot of shaking and peeping going on. I dunno, I'll give you this... you're not lazy...but I suspect using this contraption with paint would be so messy unscrewing that big cap and paint running out, getting into the threads and everywhere. Can't imagine the cleanup if paint is used.
Harbor Freight sold a refillable aerosol spray can made from aluminum and I have had it a long time. It is a super duper can but I think it isn't available anymore. It only cost about 8 bucks as I remember, maybe a little cheaper but it is greatness. Anybody else have one or remember them?
If used with paint, just be sure to invert the can after spraying to clear the tube and nozzle.
electronicsNmore wow still answering people after a few years I am subbing just for that keep up the great work
wouldn't it be easier to just buy a pre-made refillable spray can, they aren't that expensive?
Does the 40psi you used last as long as a regular pressurised can?
It does last a while. Keep in mind, if you would like a constant pressure for use UNDER 80 degrees F(between 75 & 80 Deg F yields around 50psi) , you can always pick up a can of isobutane cooking fuel at a camping supply store and make a refill adapter from the can to the refillable spray canister using an old air pump hose. Isobutane is what is commonly used in spray cans. :-). Just remember like most spray cans, isobutane is flammable.
Thanks For Watching!
electronicsNmore Thanks ENM .
Just wondering where you got the PVC Fitting and Cap ? -- I can't seem to find a flat Cap like that. Thanks in advance.. :)
It's used for lower pressure DWV PVC.

@Dave M Oh hi ... you amuse me. Go on then. Call me Ken. Bring me my meds.

Ty Kellerman Glad you liked it. :-)
Why did you show a different valve stem in the photo?
Same valve stem, maybe a different cap.
Great video, and "how to". Don't they sell these "things" somewhere?
You can buy refillable spray cans online if you do not want to make one.
Would it be ok to substitute 2 part epoxy for the E6000? I'll be spraying a pyrethrin thru the can.
+stephencarlsbad
Hi Stephen. 2 part epoxy is not really flexible and will not seal good under pressure. Use E-6000 or clear silicone glue. 30 - 40 psi is fine for spraying pesticides. Never pressurize over 50 psi. Thanks For Watching!
Put the valve stem on the plastic screw cap at the bottom of the can,not the side as shown.
Bad idea. Doing that will place the valve below the liquid in the can.
That wouldn't matter the stem is sealed the can is turned upside down to fill.Once half filled with liquid and air,the air will still force down on the liquid when the can is turned upright.You can also leave the mixing ball in the can.Try it.
Once again, bad idea. Once the can drops to a low pressure level, and you connect to the valve to re-pressurize, some of the contents will likely leak out. It is also not a good idea keeping the valve submerged all the time. Do as you wish, but my way is better.
You still have to turn the can over to re-pressurize it.Liquid on the internal side of the valve stem doesn't matter.You can also put a weight on the plastic tube that goes from the spray head to the bottom of the spray can.That will hold the feed tube to the bottom of the can to ensure that all of the spray can content is used.Try it.

This is great for low pressure jobs but the PVC screw can't take all the pressure. Still nice vid
+jacob invents and reviews
Which is exactly why I said pressure UNDER 50psi. :-)
we run 90psi in the irrigation system where i work. all pvc no problems. also im sure my propane powered potato gun is well over that when i fire it. also pvc
that's pretty cool... thanks Christopher Watkins... :)

did you try to fit the valve to a pvc instead of using the can?
I thought of that, and it would make life much easier if you wanted to swap out the can, but I had concerns about the valve being at or below the liquid level in the can.
***** That could work. I have another Idea in the making. If I get the time, I will assemble it and make a video.
Thanks For Watching!
Do you know where I can buy empty spray cans
Buy a cheap can of spray paint.
electronicsNmore no I'm making my own formula and I want a big bundle I've looked everywhere lol
Good, but I refill them without adding a hole. I force the propane or CO2 right through the valve. It's a little slower, but less messy. And with whipped cream cans, they use nitrous oxide, which has the same pressure as CO2. Whippets and CO2 cartridges are available at sporting goods stores. Crossman cartridges can be used, but there is oil in them, so no good for some products... but why drill a hole in the side of the can?
Your way can be very messy. Forcing the liquids through the valve? As liquids flow in, the air needs to escape otherwise when pressure builds, you will have the liquids shooting right back at you. My way also allows for easy cleaning of the can. The hole in the side of the can makes pressurization a cinch.
Thanks For Watching!

Yeah I like your way it seems more practical, I really enjoy watching your vids, thanks, Happy Holiday's.

+ZEGHAMRI MOHAMMED Just what I was looking for, refillable paint spray cans that don't cost a fortune! Very good video! I want to ask if you know anything about Moorack Car Spray Miracle? Found it on google, feel free to do it too, but can't decide if it is worth it or just better stick to the "old" methods.
OH MY GAWD....I watched the whole thing.....you need a kat to run the the view every once in awhile or something.......However, I did find it interesting. I don't even know I how got to start watching the refill videos. I wish you'd of show a spray tip working. I've never seen that particular spray tip work that way.
Also if you've used paint, did you have to thin it? Now to thin oil, I usually use acetone, but that would mess with the PVC, would use turpentine.
Anyway.......thanks for the video and get a kat, a mouse, a turtle for stage effect. I'll up you and subscribe......
Kent Rockwood Tyler
Home Depot has a unit with a one time aerosol use. For oil base paint it recommends 1 part mineral spirits to 4 parts material. worked good until I ran out of air. @ $4 a pop I am looking for something like this.
When spraying oil I usually use Toluene at about half and half. It works well because it causes the surface to flash over pretty fast, meaning no runs. Yet the surface is still 'open' enough to let it flatten out. I'd be concerned that Toluene would melt the pvc.
I saw that one you were talking about at Home Depot. Is think this is worth a try, but I wish he'd of shown it actually spraying. The E6000 can be bought online on Amazon or at Michaels.
I dunno Tony, this seems to be the best one I've seen. Like I saw, I came across it by accident.
I know there are fancy systems around, but they are very expensive and are used by specialty paint stores.
Tony Lopez true. The preval is a nice convenience item, but gets expensive quickly and over time. This interested me but after watching and drinking coffee, even with my spare little compressor (3gal Craftsman oil-type), a moisture/oil separator and a little touch up gun (super low buck at harbor freight) I can have something that does a better job with no prep time, easy cleanup, and any material compatible. Sure, it's like $20 for moisture separator and $10-$20 for the gun, but... what's your time worth?! It's an excellent idea and project, but it won't put up with automotive lacquer thinner clean ups and isn't long term or as versatile. It's ok for some things to be bought. I'm a pro remodeler and mega diy mechanic and fabricator; my time is worth something and this cool little project will cost me more money in time to build than it will cost me to buy, and I'll have something very very useful for years to come and no searching for new nozzles when they plug.
Well, the HD unit I bought was too expensive. I went & bought a refillable unit on Amazon for $16. Haven't used it yet but it is a metal spray can so any thinning agent will work. You're right about the separator. Glad you mentioned it. Thanks for the input. Very useful.
how many times did he say E6000
Pretty good considering I don't get one cent from the company for advertising. :-) I wish I could get free advertising. I'm telling you exactly how it was made, so of course I will tell you every place I used the E-6000. LOL
I'd say about E6000 times
Lmao
LOL
I love seeing disclaimers. Idiots will always ignore them and do what they want. I look forward to morons claiming they hurt themselves. Nice tutorial. I like your design.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGER !!!
No danger if properly made, and the pressure is kept below 50psi. You must be accustomed to watching all those other RUclips videos giving out bad ideas/information. Clearly if an individual is not skilled with tools and their hands, they would not make this.
electronicsNmore agree, if if if and so on
What is E6000?
An excellent clear adhesive. Oil and gas resistant. Be sure to check out my extensive video playlists for other great videos of interest to you, rate thumbs up, and share.
Walmart sells a simple plastic spray bottle it cost about 0.98 cent
Good luck with that.
It would not hold usable pressure in a plastic spray bottle. The whole point is repressuring the can and using it over and over again.

+Pinak Art
Unfortunately, I do not sell these. I only show others how I made one. Thanks For Watching!
the tyre valve fits over the top use a compresor i a hel or alot easyier
It's not just about refilling it with air and much easier. It's about using the can over and over with different liquids for your own purpose. Pay attention
And it's not tyre it's tire
Or you can just purchase a spray can meant to do the same thing and you will not have to worry about it blowing up on you.
messy yes.
Where did you find ones like you described?
Kent Rockwood Tyler prevel spray can home Depot $4
Don't know about the method this guy used, it is interesting though, would be easier and faster to fill, especially for paint or something. But I only use mine for bulk WD-40 or similar things. I use the method shown in the video linked below (which is much easier to make, but a little harder to fill) and have never had a problem, and it works great.
I usually use one of the WD-40 variety cans as they have the nice foldable straw cap, and I pump the can to around 95 psi, which is far below what the "failure rating" for even the cheapest aerosol cans, which is around 200 psi. As they are required to compensate for pressure that would be created if the can is left in a vehicle on a hot summer day or etc.
***DISCLAIMER: With that said, this is just my own experience. I do NOT advise Anyone to make Any modifications to any can or other vessel. If you do so, you do it at Your Own Risk.***

pretty sure you could make a lot of money selling these reusable spray cans, many don't have the time, skills or equipment or both to make these

Or you can just buy a spray gun, nice cheap one around $40, or a good one around $250.....its much safer, cheaper in the long run.
The idea is upcycle. Not everyone has air pump
Because you can't bring an air compressor to a train yard and be stealthy
Ok idea but better ones out there
no need to get cut now bud just stating facts. its a good idea just tedious to watch.

I have very well explained videos for a reason, to GREATLY reduce questions asked later. Thanks.

Looks like the can itself was starting to rust on the outside. A coat of spray paint would solve that issue and also be rather poetic, I think. lol

you nazzy..........nazzy nazzy
I was probably being a jerk. It is a good video, hell I haven't even done a video of any kind and I'm an artist and stuff and have lots to say..........erm.......
Why do all this messing around when you can use a tyre valve to refill both liquid and gas? This is pretty stupid.
LOL. Good luck filling up the can through the 5/32" opening in the Schrader valve with the core removed, not to mention some solvents will damage the valve seats.That idea is pretty stupid.
could you have made the entire can out of PVC plastic? why bother with the metal? just add the straw and sprayer nozzle .
That E6000 is garbage( imo) I prepped many objects for that adhesive to perform as it should but it never has. The answer is go ahead and just squeeze some out onto some paper or glue two pieces of wood or plastic together it's ridiculous. Crap is like plado it doesn't harden at all
E6000 is fantastic, never had it let me down. It's not supposed to harden. LOL
u coulda refilled the can thru the valve without cutting the can. thats what i did much easier
Take a shot every time you hear...you guessed it...E6000
It's the best stuff. :-)
This is rediculous...wow. If you want to re-use a can use the other guys video where all you need is a tire valve stem, or just go buy a $10 pressure sprayer from home depot/lowes.
Far from ridiculous. :-) The other video expects you to fill the can through the valve. LOL. Good luck with that, not to mention the valve seal will be destroyed in no time at all. My idea's far better.
looks like you are making a pipe bomb
No. I have another video for that. :-). Just kidding.
Fail fail fail got one use out of it inconsistent spray too
You clearly used the wrong spray nozzle. Mine works just fine.
$ 100.00 spray can !!!
More like $6, if you have an empty can of spray paint on hand.
I'm all about DIY but I can get one already made for $9 that doesn't require tape to reseal it and has an over pressure valve.
