Sort of looks like they have some sort of sealant between the flanges on
spray paint cans. I suppose an arc could burn across the sealant producing a
leak. Aomized hydrocarbons do have a reputation for burning so  -Ok!-. Dont
store cans of spray paint near coils.

I suppose Induction heating from being near a primary could cause excess
pressure in a spray can. Aomized hydrocarbons do have a reputation for
burning so-Ok!-. Dont store cans of spray paint near coils.

Now can anyone furnish a good reason for storing spray cans near a tesla
coil?

( long pause, no response....................)

Then I motion that we drop the subject!
