Did it leak from the end cap seal? Only had that happen once, and it was a Testor's can.

I've several brands leak at the nozzle inside the cap. It would run down the can and glue it to the shelf. I hate it when that happens.

Yep, just as you see it. It was smaller in the fall, so it's obviously still leaking. And the can is almost full. And old.

Only one thing to do now: place the can on a piece of burning newspaper and shoot it with a BB gun.

I was thinking a Ma Deuce, but a nice .300 Weatherby mag would do in a pinch.

I like to recover the glass marble inside and keep them. Master modeler paints use a little ball bearing as a mixing ball.

I like tbzep's choice of caliber in the 300 Weatherby much better than a BB Gunn. In our teens we would just throw full cans in a bonfire then stand back and wait for them to blow on their own. Ether starting fluid cans worked REALLY well. Nowadays just having this kind of GOOD KLEEN FUN would probably trigger a jackassed BATFE investigation.

You choose that whimpy .300 Weatherby over the M2's .50BMG round!?!?!? I'm disappointed in you, GH.

Yeah, we did the same thing.
Go to the dump and toss as many aerosol cans in the fire that we could find and stand back and scare the he!! out of the workers when they went flying out of the fire.
I miss those days.
