So I got this can of spray adhesive that no longer sprays. Obviously the can didn't hold any pressure. Being a disciple of Red Green, I new exactly what to do. I got out my trusty drill, but before I started drilling, I wrapped a towel around the can just in case there was some small amount of pressure left in the can.

Everything went smoothly. I drilled the hole in the top of the can, set the drill down, unwrapped the towel, and then the can proceeded to explode. Did you know that glue under pressure can go more than six feet in the air? I had glue on my hands, face, and what little hair I have left is now held in place by spray adhesive.

My next mistake was shutting my left eye. It took both of my hands to open it up again. On the bright side, it was a very high quality adhesive. I've used Goo-BeGone, dishwashing liquid, and rubbing alcohol, and I'm still pretty sticky. It's also kind of scary putting on a cap when you don't know if it's ever coming off again.

Paul,

Where's the duct tape? You know Red Green doesn't do anything without using duct tape. In this case, if you would of wrapped the can in duct tape before drilling I doubt it would have exploded. BTW, my father-in-law is a dead ringer for Red and loves duct tape almost as much.

Now, just be careful what customers you hug until the glue is all gone or you may have some serious explaining to do to the Mrs. about who you brought home "stuck on you" and why they got stuck in the first place. LOL

THAT is actually good reasoning (I like it). Agree with wrapping the can with duct tape first (woulda used gorilla tape at a minimum). What spray adhesive type was it? Just curious.

I was thinking how to get the paint from a spray can that was full but would not spray. My thinking got as far as wrapping it with the towel. Then I read your story. Thanks Paul.

BTW, do you think using a big hole cutter would work better?

The first thing my wife said was, "What were you thinking?"

My answer: "In what part of this tale do you feel there was any thinking done?"

NateSmith, it was 3M Special 77 Adhesive Spray.

Vinke, I needed some glue and there was a lot left in the can. If you don't believe me you should look at my ceiling.

Phil, not sure about a larger drill bit but you can bet I'll try that next time.

For some reason I got this mental image of a feather pillow coming apart.

I propose we all pitch in to buy Paul a GoPro camera for Christmas so we get the opportunity to SEE his shenanigans and not just hear about them.

Kevin, in order for this idea to work you would have to find a GoAmateur camera.

Next time? You are persistent. Some people refer to persistence as stick-to-itness. If the shoe fits...
Good luck buddy.

Having trouble keeping you hair in place? No need for hairspray. I've found a much more permanent solution.
