I bet heating, freezing and distorting it does wonders for the paint's bonding properties too

PS: I don't know what was in that can, but there's no such thing as liquid CO2

Ah the old air duster upside down. This is good one for getting people around the office. Get someone close up with a short sleeve shirt on.... Happy days

There is an aerosol can of some substance for cooling things down. It is used in electronic repair to trace an overheating component. Don't know what is in the can though.

I think it's more likely to be liquid Nitrogen, rather than Carbon Dioxide. That's what's in plumbers freezing cans anyway.


Besides, there's now way they'd be allowed to sell CO2 in a can these days, not now that we know how dangerous it is

Could work on a dent .... by heating and cooling rapidly - but, only on a dent you could have 'popped out' in any case with one of those £1 suction cups.

They dont always work SSuP, I tried it on my mini when it was vandalised and the door metal was too strong to pull out.
