Great for filling with your own concoctions or fill with bulk PB-Blaster or WD-40.
BUY A PREMADE ONE: amzn.to/3uqijSs or amzn.to/1KemKGZ

Add air back into a dead can: • Refill flat AEROSOL Sp...
I would degrease the inside of the can if it had lubricant like wd-40 in it before I soldered. I would do this with brake cleaner or carb cleaner and swish it around on the inside.
This video is for entertainment purposes only. Don't try this at home....
Works on most dead aerosol cans
WD40 paint cans virtually any spray cans
Refill wd40 cans
Recharge wd40 cans
The can will have a rating on the back(usually by the bar code). Most are DOT 2Q which means they are rated to at least 270psi before it will burst and designed for an operating pressure up to around 180psi @130F degrees. 99% of all air compressors put out a max of 120psi so you can't get close to the safe rating. I generally only put 50psi in mine as it seams to be ample.
USA ratings At 130F degrees
No Code Minimum burst 210psi
DOT 2P Minimum burst 240psi
DOT 2Q Minimum burst 270psi

Very good video. I did a similar thing 30 years ago with great success. I however did not drill the top. I went to the bottom of the can directly in the center of the inward domed part. I used the same salvaged valve stem brass and soldered it in as you did. It didn't have the problem of overheating the spray valve. It also worked out that it was below the edge of the bottom of the can so it didn't stop the can from standing flat on the work bench. Thanks David Jamestown, RI

Another way to recharge a aerosol can (but not add more product) is to place it in side a pressure paint pot and pressurize the pot. The inside of the can will equalize to the pressure of the pot through the nozzle. You can use this same concept to recharge those air springs you see on car hoods etc. but you need to use a much stronger chamber, higher pressures and use nitrogen vs. air.

Just a thought on easy refilling. Leave the long spray tube attached to the nozzle at the top of the can and simply dip the end of it into whatever liquid product you want to fill it with. Now, while holding the nozzle down, use a vacuum pump (like the kind you would use to test the diaphragm on an EGR valve or whatever) and suck air out through the tire valve that you had installed on the can. This will pull your liquid product back through the plastic straw and will be less messy and faster at the same time. Another thought on how to make a refillable can for spraying paint. Use an old spray can of paint instead of a WD-40 can for the simple reason that the spray can for paint will have the correct style of nozzle on it meant for spraying paint vs. the nozzle on a WD-40 can.

Top marks! Now - a thought about the 2nd part video: With the pressure being equal in all 3 dimensions of the can - by the manufactures design, it does not really matter where you put the valve. The "pressure" does understand the 3d dimensions equally versus 3D surfaces size. Top marks!

Hey I like the video, but please take care with this one folks. Not washing the can out with water first can turn it into a bomb! Any slight residue remaining in the can that was there previously can explode when near a flame if you don't fill the can with water first to get rid of all the old stuff (if flamable) So fill it through your new hole you've drilled, empty it and heat to evaporate all the remaining moisture out, then go for it. Not doing this can seriously be lethal. Just watch an empty can of fly spray in the fire... place if you're game? Great video and well explained without any time consuming dribble about your shed, your work bench, What shoes you like to wear or where you like to shop on Wednesdays and all the other dribble we often have to listen to on a demo video from others.

@sixtyfiveford 9 жыл бұрын

delivertotheliver Thanks for watching. By having an open container it won't explode like one would think. A bomb by nature is a fully contained devise. By having the Schrader valve missing it is an open devise and will only vent. You would possibly get a split second 3-4" flame if the air to contents mixture was just right. But that's it.

@The_Handyman_Can 9 жыл бұрын

sixtyfiveford Just can't agree on either points there. A bomb can be any number of explosive devices and not contained to have to go up. It's simply ignition of a propellent with enough restriction to create a buildup of pressure for velocity and the nature of the propellent needing to expand when ignited, (expand as fast as possible being the important part here). A rifle barrel has a hole at the end, yet the restriction from the projectile creates the resistance! No third party can say in the case of the spray can what level of air fluid mix someone else may have left in their can, so the expanding air inside could vary dramatically. We can't say it would simply 'vent' through the tiny hole within a split second when the easier alternative is to blow the can apart via the side seam. I know a 20 lt drum can throw an adult to the roof of their shed and this can you have, close to ones face, could easily explode with ignition, and be really dangerous. if it's filled with wate first, there's a far greater increase in safety. We need to consider that people will not always think when trying this with larger containers too!

@sixtyfiveford 9 жыл бұрын

A bullet is a 100% contained/sealed device and is pressure fitted into it's casing. It is a bomb and blows up. It however has a weak point of the lead being wedged into the casing, so they separate after that explosion. A 20lt drum could explode if it didn't have a vent hole sized right. Also a 20lt drum is not designed to be a pressure vessel. A spray can is however and is rated around 19bar before they'll burst, where a 20lt is not rated and will more than likely fail at 6-7 bar. This allows a spray can to vent even in the most extreme situations. I have done numerous of these cans and judging by the amount of pressure build up released when it is ignited; it is somewhere around 5 bar.

@The_Handyman_Can 9 жыл бұрын

sixtyfiveford You're correct about a bullet being sealed etc which is a refined form of doing things a better and cleaner way compared to the messy old musket etc. However if we got a length of PVC tube, capped one end and placed it on the ground with the open end up, put some fuel in, then a tennis ball in last, the ball becomes a projectile of great velocity when the fuel's ignited. Great size hole at the top where the ball along with the expanding air can escape. Reducing the size of the hole is where our tuning becomes dangerous and we risk the tube exploding! It is in fact a bomb, but not sealed. Good point about the difference in ratings between a paint can and drum, so I guess an LPG bottle would be a better example, where many are now dead from sparks igniting the lpg inside (or even remaining residue from what they believed to be an empty bottle when grinding). Still, the fact is you've clearly done a lot of these little gadgets and not washed the can out, and it's not exploded. Thanks for not taking my points the wrong way as different experiences are what makes the world go round. So I remain intrigued with what you're doing and appreciate the chat :-)

Just a safety tip. If when your ready to first test your can with pressure, if you fill the can 90% or so with water before you pump it up, should the can or one of the seals burst you will get warning (water spray) before it bursts and the water will absorb a lot of the energy if it does burst.

how about just fill it up gradually to listen for leaks or look for bubbles in a sink ; if the can is over pressured the bottom will pop out first anyways.

Very nice, and so elegant too :) . My method worked by heating the empty can in hot water, then letting the pressure out through the valve. After this, I dipped it in cold water and used the resulting vacuum in the can to suck the WD40 in through the valve. This worked like a charm and would fill it about 1/3 of the way. Then, with a rough and ready pressure adapter made from a piece of clear tube jammed through a hole in a washer, I used a bike pump to charge the can with air. This was 30 years ago. While it worked like a charm, I think your idea my be easier and more reliable. Keep up the good work.

I made all with your suggestions. Generally idea works, but didn't for my purpose. I refill can with paint (about a quarter of can), pump air to 80PSI and what I noticed is that doesn't smoothly put the paint, but rather more like on your vid - it's rather narrow flux. I am sure it's not due to paint, because I used paint from another can. So I wonder why it doesn't work so nice as original. Does the can is filled with something else than air? After refilling it sprays definitely more paint than air. Maybe any ideas how to fix it?

Once you've drilled the hole, you may want to flush it out with water a few times, just to make sure there is nothing left inside that could catch fire, or, worse, explode.....

There's a real explosion risk here, and the whole tinning soldering process is a hassle. You can't clean the flux off the inside, so it's going to corrode eventually. Just epoxy the valve stem onto the can and you'll be fine.

Just did this...works like a champ!!! If you don't like the fire, smell...try this, sandpaper off a spot, use a punch to make the hole, use just a standard soldering iron and electronic paste and solder. Test it with low pressure upside down in water for bubbles, good to go...no need for water in the cap because your heat was so pinpoint and the cone the punch made is perfect for the solder...wife has already asked for one for her crafts table!!!

Awesome. I’ve been looking for a hack like this to spray my DuPont Molykote penetrating oil. SureShot and others don’t always stand up to certain chemicals. The seals are garbage. Pre Val sprayers were always leaking when using strong solvents. This is a good cheap hack that doesn’t cost $80. Thanks

@Nevir202 9 жыл бұрын

Why not do this on the bottom of the can? The stem would stick out a little but you would be away from the mechanism and could just make a wood insert so the can would still stand up flat. :-) Also if your solder were to catastrophically fail somehow the valve stem wouldn't fly off into your face.

@sixtyfiveford 9 жыл бұрын

Nevir202 Because it is more likely to get bumped and knocked around on the bottom. Also some chemicals will react with the seal on the Schrader valve and could cause it to leak were if it's at the top it will rarely come in contact.

@Nevir202 9 жыл бұрын

sixtyfiveford Well that is why I was saying to recess it within a wood spacer so it could stand up and wouldn't be hit. But the seal thing may be an issue I hadn't considered. Thanks for the response.

@sixtyfiveford 9 жыл бұрын

The bottom of the can is also considered the safety pressure release. It is designed to bump out in the instance you left it in the hot sun to relieve pressure. The thinking is that adding the valve in the bottom would cause the valve to become loose in this instance and leak/shoot off.

@Nevir202 9 жыл бұрын

sixtyfiveford The top of the can is made to pop out to relieve pressure too. There is a video of it doing this somewhere on YT when pushed up to the upper 200s PSI, but I can't find it right now. So I would think that if this were to be an issue it would be an issue with your valve on the top as well. And even if it did leak in an overpressure case that is still better than it exploding. And as I said before at least the bottom of the can isn't pointed at your face usually. :-) Cheers and thanks for the idea, if I do it I'll try to let ya know how it goes.

@sixtyfiveford 9 жыл бұрын

The very top of the can where I put water will expand but not the domed ring where I put the valve. That is the thickest metal on the can. I have put valves in the bottom and I have one on my shelf right now. I put a extra ring around the bottom to hold it up but it still gets bumped around and makes the can awkward.
