How to Put AIR Back in Your Aerosol Spray Can (Fast and EASY)

[@ronbuckner342]

Dude after watching your video i went right out to my garage and did that and it worked. Thanks soo much awesome video!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Hahaha awesome thanks for watching!!!

[@spec1923]

I poked a hole in the can and poured it into a spray bottle.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That would work lol

[@warrenhardy4293]

Thanks I didn't know the PSI was needed.👍

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Your very welcome glad it helped!!!

[@johnd.5480]

Is the air charge enough to last for the remainder of the contents, or do you need to pressurize multiple times?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I had to refill this one 1 more time after the video. Thanks for watching!!!!!!!

[@rm5337]

This is definitely not fast and easy! I'm not about to go out and by parts to fill a small can of WD-40! If WD-40 CANS ARE DEFECTIVE,and apparently they are,than I won't ever purchase one again! This problem has happened before, so I BLAME THE COMPANY for it's DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That is the reason i tried this refill stuff because wd has gone down hill.

[@rstoertz]

Well, it's not just WD-40, of course. I have a more expensive can of auto undercoating that is a few years old, and lost pressure. I got one squirt out of it, so I know the stuff inside is still good. That's why I am here. If your compressor is set to 90 psi or less, you don't really need the extra gauge. Just a tire chuck, which most people have, if they have a compressor, and the valve stem that you might need to buy. It's a small price to pay!

[@pacvend]

If my paint spray cans don't work could it be dried paint in siphon tube?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That or maybe try switching the tips, ive had that happen before, the tips get clogged or soak the tips in mineral shirts that will clean them out!!!

[@JustMyFish]

Thanks that’s cool I learned something new 😊👍🏻💞

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks hope it helps!!!!!!

[@BitSmythe]

*NO NEED to say “what’s up guys.* Sounds stupid.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@sejinoh2759]

Thanks! I can't wait to try this later today!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for watching!!! It works pretty well ,just always be safe and don't overfill!!

[@neiljumpinjackflash7551]

Can this work for rattle spray paint cans with plugged lines? Usually paint cans run out of pressure then the paint clogs up and half the can is still full of good paint.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

It should, jist make sure to put a rag over the valve when you fill it, or the paint may spray you in the face when you release it, then just put the air in in short burst. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment 👍

[@neiljumpinjackflash7551]

@@ACDesignsGarage Thanks man!

[@richardpalko8062]

I'm convinced that the rare cans that have lost pressure must have incurred damage to the valve seal during manufacturing. For re pressurizing the can you can make an overspray canopy skirt by poking a hole on the inside bottom of a sandwich bag and pushing the small end of the tire valve through the inside bottom of the bag so the bag fits snug closer to the bigger end of the valve. Then you shroud the top of the can with open part of the bag with the small end of the valve facing up ready to take air pressure and the bag should control most of the overspray .

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Man thats a great idea!!!

[@moxee33]

I can't find the valve core you are using ANYWHERE :( I like the wider rubber bottom unlike all the others I see. What is the brand please?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I posted one like I used in the description below the video. The smaller ones will work as long as it seals against the metal, you have to really push hard on some of them, any more help let me know!!!!

[@trevorjames5493]

Can you do this with a regular bike pump or does it have to be like a compressor with power pump

[@kennth5664]

Every time I see one of those Examples , never show BEFORE/AFTER.WHY, THIS GUY USED SAME CAN HE FILLED UP, BEFORE, With the Second Test P.S No Before/After.

[@moxee33]

Finally a good video on the subject! Thank you 👍

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much!!!!!!

[@jimjackson4256]

It is too bad they didn’t make them so they didn’t lose air so quickly.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah I totally agree, you can do the same process with paint but it can get messy lol

[@Gieszkanne]

I found an at least 10 year old bottle of a break cleaner. Its almost empty but the spray still work. I think this is on purpose.

[@makolic1]

isn't there a risk of the can exploding ?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

As long as you keep it under 60 psi your fine.

[@techtinkerin]

Hmm let me think how does a combustion engine work, fuel, air under pressure. Yeah sounds perfectly safe honestly 🤭

[@vtt3808]

Thanks for the video :) May I know what is the name of the connector you attached to the can pls? And can you pls put the link in ur comment above pls?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for the support here is simular to what I used in the video, click the amazon link below www.amazon.com/Milton-S-148-NPT-Lever-Blow/dp/B001XBI1E2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=3GUP0P7Y7J5PV&dchild=1&keywords=air+blow+gun&qid=1635296825&sprefix=air+blow&sr=8-2

[@kyrahirsch4367]

can i do this for all my hairspray cans that lost pressure and stopped working? 😂

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I tried it for my wife with not much success lol not sure why.

[@nellou5527]

Will I be safe if I buy the valve and use the air compressor at the gas station? My sister gave me a $45 dry shampoo but she can’t return it bc it was an Amazon sale or something. It’s completely full practically.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Im not sure, the wd cans are filled with 90psi not sure about the dry shampoo can

[@nellou5527]

Thanks for the response and the video!

[@edaw8529]

IDEALY YOU WOULD WANT TO USE INERT GAS TO PRESSURE THE CAN

[@ACDesignsGarage]

You are correct it works alot better

[@techtinkerin]

Guy doesn't understand what you mean😂

[@Gieszkanne]

Puncture it fill the rest into a spray bottle do work also.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for the tip

[@Latanya-eq2hz]

If i want to fill the aerosol 5with butane can. How do i attach the gas to the can?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for the question, ill have to do some research, at the moment I'm not real sure how. I'm sure where there's a will there's a way lol

[@marmac567]

I got another way, stamp on the can

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That ill do it for sure lol

[@boston-strong8887]

Great video. Thank you!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thank you for the kind words!!!!

[@olegiezer]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@jamesproctor4858]

Great video. Keep during this type of video. God bless you

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you God Bless!!!

[@robertdiamondoil2384]

I usually puncture the can and put it in a mason jar then use a small brush I’ll have to try this

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thats a pretty good idea !!!

[@Gieszkanne]

You could also fill it into a spay bottle or oiler.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

@@Gieszkanne great idea!!!!

[@TheWinezen]

can you use this method on cans that come without that short, white plastic stubby tube at the top?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I haven't tried that yet.

[@steveherr450]

for the ones with the stubby connected to the nozzle instead i use a needle valve like you use to fill up sport balls with a hand pump. Just insert the needle valve into the can. even if the plastic stubby is on the can you can still use a needle valve instead of a tire valve stem.

[@hope4ourfallen]

​@@steveherr450That was a really cool tip. Thank you for the added idea.

[@Edgar4T007]

Great video 👌

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you

[@techtinkerin]

Has it not occurred to you that you're putting fuel and air under pressure inside a metal container? Think about how an engine cylinder works, add heat and boom. Would be safer to pressurise with butane ior carbon dioxide.

[@jcaleca60]

Thanks

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching!!!!

[@joeyortiz13]

Thank u

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for the kind words

[@JohnW1711stock]

Excellent!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you!!!!

[@marmac567]

Or put it in hot water for a second

[@robertjahrling2025]

GET OUT

[@UranusAnalyst]

If you really desperate and really need the liquid subtance but have nor time and tools . Just flip the WD40 can upside down and press the trigger. This will put leftover Liquid on the upper can part near the trigger and the liquid will came out by bit

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for the tip, I cant stand these new cans they always run out of aerosol early for some reason.
