Shellac Recycling

[DWSUDEKUM]

Some time back I posted about collecting up the unused potion of shellac out of those spray cans and generally folks thought it was too much work.  Well I collected this many cans - 15 cans.  Now all these cans are basically empty they would no longer spray.  So I collected them up got an awl a 1 pint mason jar and a funnel.

 

 

I poked 4 holes into the top of each can, letting the propellant out.  I did this to all 15 cans.  I then inverted them over the funnel and drained them into the mason jar.

 

These spray cans are 12 oz. and I got 11 ounces out of the 15 cans I drained.  Well worth the 10 minutes it took to drain them in my opinion.

Good save DW, I don't use spray cans of finish so your tip wouldn't help me. Thanks for posting it though, it might be helpful to others.
