One thing you should NEVER do !!

[PeterJ]

Had an old can of spray foam that has long since plugged up. You might know where this is going,,, I wondered if it was still pressurized, so I did what any fun loving guy would do. I put a CCI Mini Mag HP through it out of my 15-22. Gollee,,, what a monumental mess. Had foam in about a 50 foot radius including the roof and wall of the garage. Wife was not happy. I will be awhile cleaning that mess up,,, Duh.

And.....please don't store pressurized spray cans in sealed, military ammo cans. The pressure can leak out of the pressurized paint or other aerosol can, and pressurize the entire storage can, turning it into a "bomb" or sorts.

I've thought about doing that very thing as those products are usually only good for one use and still pretty much full.
Thanx for being the guinea pig!

Oops. I would have not told on myself.

The only thing more fun is throw them in a big camp fire—make sure you are a good runner. I don't think this is OSHA or EPA compliant, but it's funny.

Who held your beer?

Our elk camp had a can of whipped cream go into the outside fire, the biggest chunk was found about 30 yards away.

What, no pictures???

 

[PeterJ]

What, no pictures???

Well, admitting it is bad enough, but one thing for sure,,, wait till it dries before you even think about cleaning it up.

I once shot a partially pressurized can of paint with a .22 - in a dump. Hilarious! It jumped up about thirty feet in the air like a bottle rocket without a tail, spewing orange paint everywhere. My 11 year old daughter was impressed. Glad we were at a safe range. Don't try this at home

Some of us are old enough to have had the opportunity to go shooting at a dump.

Aside from the rats and other varmints and all the glass targets available, there were discarded aerosol cans.

The pressurized aerosol cans were great fun: especially lively, reactive targets.

^^^That was our favorite Saturday night activity in the small town I grew up in! I loved my Nylon 66–a deadly rat killer.

I have shot 100's of cork finish bottles that now are several dollars each.
The road side dumps were full of them. What was I thinking?

Laughed my butt off reading this. Wife wondered what I was laughing at and when I told her, her reaction was: Is there a video?

Not PeterJ but here you go. Let her watch this.

Naw, coming clean is good for the soul.

And it gives the rest of us the opportunity to point fingers and laugh!

 

[Heymatt]

Reminds of the time one of my guys dropped a can of spray glue (Contact adhesive) in a customers house and the can ruptured! Had to dive on it like a live grenade! What a freakin mess!

 

[jeffrefrig]

Do you realize there are 760,000 people out there now thinking of where they're gonna shoot a can of insulation foam?! I have a 3/4 can downstairs...and a Crossman BB gun...HOLD MY BEER!

 

[Rudi]

Re-active targets, always fun.

 

[rwsmith]

Um, you aren't talking about 'Foamy' are we......

....but expanding building foam??? Oooooh Nooooo.
