Refill flat AEROSOL Spray Cans like the WD-40 and others

Works on most dead aerosol cans and allows you to get the last little bit out.

Tire Valve stems delivered to your door: amzn.to/3h9G8Hi
BUY WD40 in BULK: amzn.to/3iqfyNt
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. Most compressors also have a regulator to turn down the pressure (50psi seams to be ample).
USA ratings At 130F degrees
No Code Minimum burst 210psi
DOT 2P Minimum burst 240psi
DOT 2Q Minimum burst 270psi

It's often the simple, humble process that is quite profound. This is one of those moments. Nicely done!

[@kennethcorriere2217]

If you have the small toolbox can of EW40 that is empty you can recharge it several times. I've been doing this for years. Simply take the red spray tube and attach it to the can with the most WD40 in it. Press both cans at the same time and it will fill the small can until the pressure equates. Presto the smaller can is back in service. Now its not full but almost 1/2 and you can fill it like this for years!

[@williamsnyder1205]

Thanks for that tip !!!

[@richardp5161]

Genius fix! I tried this using an air spray can and an exhausted wd40 can - worked great! This is the BEST solution that I've found. thanks.

[@ElsparkyG]

😂😂😂 THX I LOVE IT GOD IS GOOD

[@Macismad]

Not only that when the can is completly empty of liquid contents, you could fill it up with air to have a handy bench top compressed air sprayer. Might worl well for certain kinds of clean up!

[@OogieWa]

You'll still get some liquid out of there occasionally, hope that's OK.

[@russwentz3957]

Thank you for the excellent tip! WD-40 cans have been a problem over the years to the point that I would puncture the can with an awl and drain out the remnants. Re-pressurizing the can is absolutely the way to go.

[@williamsnyder1205]

I have done the same thing with dozens of cans myself, this is a game changer

[@allnicksweretaken]

Awesome tip man! Tried this with the valve from an old mountain bike inner tube and one of those standing up bicycle pumps. No problemo doing it by myself. Worked like a charm on my alost empty air duster cans. Feels great knowing that I can puff away w/o seeing my money go with the wind. :D Many thanks. Two of the cans did not have the male plastic pipe sticking up (that male part was in the spaying nozzle cap), so I just cut a short bit of the plastic pipe that came with the air duster can and put that into the hole. It sealed well enough to put as much pressure as I was comfotable with (heard a slight creaking sound around 60+ psi, and stopped).

[@bigbilltoady412]

I have never in my many years seen a WD-40 spray can run out of content and still have pressure left in the can. They always and I mean always run out of pressure while there is plenty of oil in the can. Always!!

[@davidjames666]

my air compressor came with the ‘needle’ to fill up soccer balls, etc. just the right size to stick in the middle of the spray can nub, push in, and air goes into the can

[@Scottocaster6668]

Now THAT is better than this videos idea! Thanks man👍👍

[@davidjames666]

@@Scottocaster6668 yep, you do not even have to press down hard as the air flows backwards into the can because the cans valve is designed to keep contents in. i learned from this video that 100psi is ok. i stopped at 30psi (the can gets hard at that point and can not be squeezed) and sometimes needed 2 or 3 refills. you can hear the can contents bubbling as air from the compressor enters the can through the nozzle

[@Scottocaster6668]

@@davidjames666 yep, I just did it! 👍

[@davidjames666]

@J D no crossing needed. air compressors have a dial you can turn which sets the max pressure that comes out the end of the hose. - just turn it to 100psi

[@davidjames666]

@J D I wouldn’t recommend doing this either by my method, or the method presented in this video without an inline pressure gauge/regulator. I am certain one can get one for under $10 from Harbor freight or so.

Fabulous method of restoring pressure in aerosol cans that have lost pressure! Probably could use this technique with aerosol paint cans too. Thanks for showing us!

[@kinnaird100]

Thanks I was going to throw a half full can out your simple remedy worked perfectly . Thank goodness for you brilliant youtubers.

[@nw7696]

This was my "trick" as well since the 80's, certain manufacturers either didn't use enough propellant or the pickup tube inside the can was nicked and allowed too much gas to escape during normal use. This is definitely a way to get out almost all of the product. I'm sure you have helped a lot of people to get their moneys worth. 👍🏻

[@markbenoit]

I bought a Sure shot sprayer a long time ago, saved me a lot of money over the years. They hold up too. I have one with wd-40 and one with acetone. Depending on what you put in a regular sprayer, the seals often fail.

[@michaelsauer3783]

Great idea.. I clean spray paint can values by turning the can upside down and spray until nothing but air but find that I end up over time with paint left in the can and out of air. This method will allow me to utilize the complete can of paint.

[@savannaswildnatureworkshop7810]

not really...air as a propellant makes a poor choice for rattle cans....but it's better than nothing.

[@CurlyQLink]

Great idea and video. I go to the Automotive Departments at Walmart and Sam's Club for value stems the few times I did need one and they we're always accommodating :-)

[@cliffweinan3907]

Thanks for great idea. Was always running out of WD-40 pressure so I tried your technique today. Had to cut about 1/4 of rubber off the base of valve stem so inside brass tube would press on on can stem. You have to use this valve stem to press open can white stem to get air pressure into the can. Air pressure along is not enough to overcome the can stem valve.. Your technique works, thanks a bunch.

[@kimp8079]

I tried this with a random seal cut from a rubber hose and a standard upright bicykle pump. Pressing the pump against the rubber was enough. Lovely bubbling sound inside the can. Pressure wants to go from higher to lower. The stem is a valve. Pressing it gets messy.

[@t9cstudio]

Thank you for this, and WD seems to be one of the ones that does this regularly. Great mech hack, thanks!

[@tonyemjay7011]

does the white nozzle on the WD40 need to be pushed down to insert the air or can it be filled without pressing it down?

[@marknasia5293]

tony emjay you remove the white button part of the nozzle leaving the small tube/steam of the nozzle. The tire valve goes over that small portion seating around the base of the top of the can. It works, and i am so happy, i have just resurrected like 4 old cans of WD40 that had the lubricant still in the cans but no pressure to access it. Before i had to cut the can open and save the fluid that way. This is so much easier..

[@brianarsenault9281]

Very clever! I love your idea of using a tire valve.

[@ihategoogle7849]

Another thing you can do in a pinch, is put the can in a freezer for a while, then press down on the cap after it's had time to chill and it will pull in a bit of air. Not as good as using a compressor, but it will allow you get a little more out.

[@sixtyfiveford]

[@mobileagencyappsinfo3135]

Thank you for sharing this my friend. Your idea here is priceless. I do something similar except I have a rubber tip on my blow gun that I push down over top of the spray can stem. I'll bet all the aerosol can manufacturers will have fits over this and now post a warning label about the dangers of recharging rattle cans. That warning would be right next to the ubiquitous Proposition 65 label.

Great green tech to NOT waste anything on our planet, that has already been created. Some dummies will ask (does that also work for (fill in product name) as if the can colour or liquid inside makes a difference). But speaking of wasting, at 2:24., we GET it, no need to half empty your remaining fluid to hammer home that you pumped air into the can.
