Reply:Ambiemt temp in the area where you stowed the anti-spatter? Exceeding 120F can rupture most pressurized aerosol cans. Believe this chem contains ethylene/ether/glycerides. Don't recall exactly.Should take an image and send a note to ITW, parent company of Hobart. Besides providing them with customer safety feedback, you may score some swag."Discovery is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought" - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Reply:That would do quite a number on your hand if you happened to be using it at the time it blew....Mike
Reply:My purpose for this posting is for the safety of others. Not to bash Hobart as this can occur with any pressurized spray can. The ambient temperature at the time was 64 degrees. My thinking is the product just built up pressure for some reason. My solution is to remove all spray cans form the work bench area to a enclosed metal cabinet (I'll gladly take the extra foot steps) . In this picture you will see the clear space where it had been sitting on the top shelf at about head level. Also I noticed a dent in the side of my garden tiller. Guys be safe out there!
Reply:What was the product?
Reply:@ welder548 - good call. We always keep any liquid/aerosol solvent in an enclosed metal cabinet for safety. Check out the Whirlpool Gladiator cabinets.

Reply:I bet it splattered when it blew.I keep all my cans in an old wooden kitchen cabinet. Might be time to start looking for a metal cabinet.12v battery, jumper cables, and a 6013.I only have a facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/VPT/244788508917829
Reply:I would be more interested in what caused the can to explode..I have never seen or heard of a can on the shelf going boom...and I have hundreds of my own and thousands over a lifetime so far...was it a defect in the can, a heat source that raised the cans pressure? something happened that caused it to explode.....or could be like the movie " the jerk" with steve martin the gas station scene of the oil cans sprouting holes in them...lolOf all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...

Reply:Definitely send that info to ITW with your pictures and ALL the information off the can (batch number and any identifying marks) as there may very well be a problem in the manufacturing process causing those cans to let go unexpectedly .... and the next on might not be in an empty garage.Do everyone a favor, please send the information in ... or PM me the info and pictures and i will send it in.AWS CWI xxxx21711968 SA200 Originally Posted by WelderMike I hate being bipolar, It's awesome.

Took a while to figure it out, but the garage door spring (kind with cable) left go and whipped around on its way to the door. If I had been in there, it probably would have hit me in the head!As far as the can, do as suggested; send the picture with Lot number to them.
Reply:Ditto, but I would also be checking around that bench area for unusual sources of heat. Any grinders or anything plugged in getting hot? Distance from the shelf to the light fixture? I've had those squiggly bulbs overheat before they blew out. A beer fridge close by putting out unusually high levels of heat? Could be a defective can, but I would be ruling out other sources as well... if you've got an infrared thermometer move it around the area.250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes

Reply:They make millions if not billions of those things every year... probably most of them out of Chinese recycled metal. When you think about it, I'm actually surprised there isn't more defective ones with issues out there. Since they've started adopting more environmentally friendly propellents, my biggest issue has been cans losing pressure before the contents are gone.... especially if they freeze in the winter. I have a squirt bottle of WD-40 I keep dumping dead spray bombs into.Last edited by whtbaron; 11-06-2015 at 01:49 PM.250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes

Reply:Reminds me of one time when I was a cabinetmaker. Walk into the shop one day to find glass all over the place and a stench of beer in the air. The boss had a bottle of homebrew he got from a customer that had been sitting on the back of his workbench, guess something went wrong with the bottling process!
