Redneck Pro Tip ( brake clean/spray can hack) #automobile #viral #diy

Yeah use an old valve stem to hold open the spray valve in a dead spray can while you carefully pump some air in it from your compressor. That gives you enough pressure to get the rest of the liquid out. Some cans have that rubber grommet in the bottom and I thought you could use a basketball needle to repressurize them from the bottom side as well. I know you could do that with old cheese whiz cans

@klaatu@noauthority.social I wonder if brake cleaner is flammable? For sure, I do not recommend pumping pressurised air into a cylinder containing flammable gas. Do you know how internal combustion engines work?
