THIS WORKSAT PRESSURES OF 100PSI THE CAN SHOULD HAVE NO PRESS IN IT A ONE SECOND SPRITZ OF AIR IS ALL THATS NEEDED. IF THE CAN NEEDS A SECOND SHOT, GIVE IT ONE LATER. ITS NOT INTENDED FOR CANS WITH PRESSURE IN THEM. IF YOU CAN SQUEEZE THE CAN SIDES AND THEY DEPRESS, THIS WILL WORK.COMPRESSOR SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING SO U ''CAN'' HEAR .AIR FLOW INTO THE CAN. TEST AFTER EACH TRY. WHEN YOU GET SPRAY, CEASE TRYING.USE CAN, REFILL AFTER SPRAY STOPS. VERY EASY AND QUICK, JUST DONT OVERDO!

screw all the B.S. an air compressor can't blow a can up I say go for it buddy...

When the can is out of propellant but still has material inside, I lay the can on its side, punch a 1/4" hole at either end just under rim, using center punch or similar, and decant material into small jar; it can then be applied with brush. I don't like spraying oil all over the place to begin with.

Nice solution. I don't worry about safety, it will vent first if the pressure is too high and don't think it will ever explode

From what I have found after searching around a bit is that 75 psi is typical for spray cans at full pressure. Being a consumer item, there must be a huge safety factor. If I was doing this, I would not do this with the compressor running and I would keep it under 50 psi. I also would not hold the can in my hand when filling. I also would not pump up a rusted can. Maybe I am overly cautious. But I do not think that getting the last few drops of WD-40 out of the can is worth losing a finger or two.

How much air pressure do you recommend?
