Technical Salvaging spray cans of paint

i always thought "church key" was a drunks excuse for carrying it.
something like this:
wife: "and why were you out late last night, and what is this in your pocket?"
hubby "i was at church, and the father had me lock up, that's the church key"
or:
cop "if you haven't been drinking lad, what's this?
drunk "that's me church key, my good man"

 

The wife and the cop have a reasonable expectation that what they are looking at actually resembles a key for the church.


Bring your can of pineapple juice over and mix us a ****tail and_ ask me for a church key and youll not be able open it with what I give you. Ask me for a can opener and it will not be what you want, you'll need to ask me for a can tapper or one of them triangle dohickey things for pouring out of this can. You get what you ask for.

 

back when I was little we washed parts in gas that had teratyl lead. The house paint was lead based. Our toys where painted with lead based paint. The brake shoes where asbestos. everything we where commonly around and half the food we ate. They now claim causes cancer. Now everything is regulated and monitored. And when us old farts where kids we where lean and skinny and never got sick. And look at the kids and adults today Fat to obese. Get fat and mature at 12 years old. With big ***s and a pot gut. Even the little boys need to wear a bra. Im pretty certain little Chris has learned his lesson. He will never puncture a half full spray bomb again. What little chemicals he absorbed will not have any lasting negative effects. And having stated all of this malarkey without cussing. One fact remains. Everything in, on or about the planet is a natural thing. And it will always exist in some form, some place and in some manner. Because You cannot make something into nothing and you also cannot make something from nothing. I would rather have my grandsons out at my shop puncturing a can with a chisel and watching and learning something and ****tering my tools than glued to a TV ,Computer or Cell phone.

 

Interesting and I do get what your saying. However it doesn’t change the fact that where I grew up, the “can tapper/bottle opener” combo tool was what was referred to as a church key. Probably evolved over time from something that was shaped similar to an actual church key to any small gizmo that would get your beer open. Right or wrong, that’s how it was in these parts.

Dont sweat it, they do stuff wrong here too. They park in the driveway and drive down parkway all the time. Its normal and doesn't matter much. However if you come here you'll need to know what you want.

Lets just say it makes a difference sometimes and sometimes it don't. 37 cars in the parking lot and the boss says "bring the car in" maybe he gets the one he wants or 4 distinctly different utensils in the drawer each with their own distinctly different uses and you ask for a church key, maybe you get what you want. Send someone to the "library" to get you a book, Ask for a socket when there's 50 or 350 in the drawer and you might get what you need, 3/8 drive, 6 pt, deep well 12mm gets you something different.

 

You’re right, doesn’t matter much. Whatever opens a beer. [emoji106]

An icecream scoop works for that or even a small flashlight too.

 

I do this all the time with no issues. The tin on the side of the can is thinner than the top, so I puncture just below the crimp at the top of the can. I use a very tiny, very sharp awl and just make a pinhole for the pressure to bleed out. You can actually use the awl as a "throttle", much like a needle and seat in a carb, to let the propellant out slowly. Do it outside.

 

Been fun...glad I brought "church key" to the hamb. Now about that "mirror muff"

 

At a Tavern I once drank a lot at there was a guy there who could open bottled beer with his eye socket.

High cl*** establishment

 

Holy ****!! [emoji16] Did you ask him to keep an eye on your beer?

Twist off or pop off cap?

 

Now I know what to do with three cans of PB Blaster that are half full but no propellent. Just for knowledge, what is the propellent?

 

Propane,Butane,2 types of Ether,Nitrous Oxide and Carbon Dioxide are some of the stuff they use.

 

Nitrous oxide in ready whip.
My sister was wondering how come her whip cream was always dead but still full. I told her I'd have a talk with my nephew

 

It took about 50 cans before the first flash fire.

 

Buy a lotto ticket

 

You get one guess

 

This thread is a miasma of mental flatulence. All this over a rattle can of left over paint? Sheesh...

 

Nope its about the marble. Like the prize in a box of cracker jacks.

 

Pop off? I was actually thinking about trying it with a twist off but I think I'll try spraying some of that nitrous whip cream down the intake of my riding lawn mower instead.

 

I lay a rag on can and puncture with a pickaroon to salvage the marble,,,getting a lot of steelies lately

 

jump on the can ,, crush it, compress, the gas,

 

No, a can opener to open canned milk etc., with the sharp point is not called a "church key"
A bottle opener for opening old style beer bottles on the other hand is.[/QUOTE]
Not all churches are the same.

 

Nut's on the outside.

 

Miasma? That's a pretty obscure word for the mentality of this thread!

 

It's all about the marbles.....

 

I was welding on a trailer in my shop when the UPS guy shows up with a small box that contained a small can of paint to paint over my license plate to foil the radar camera's. I opened the box and inside was the small aerosol can surrounded by that stiff straw like packing. I place the box on the work bench about 5-6 away from where I was welding. After welding for awhile, there was a huge explosion and after I lifted my hood, fire was raining down all around me. just like Viet Nam again. I figures out that a spark must have flown into the box and ignited the straw and box and caused the aerosol can to explode. I heard the neighbor outside in his yard to the rear of my shop and asked him why he didn't come and check on me. He replied that the way it echoed, he thought the explosion came from a mile down the road. To continue my luck, I wasn't going to pay another $40 for a can of paint and sure enough, got a $130 camera speeding ticket about a month later.

 

Yeah that word stinks

 

They tried one of those cameras here. folks kept blasting it with 12 guage buckshot. The culprit was dressed head to toe in camo. musta been a Turkey hunter?
