I've recently bought a batch of expanding foam (Siroflex). The 10 cans were inside a box and laying horizontally... Unfortunately, as I found out later, the cans should had been stored vertically. As a result, the last few can left are now stuck...i.e, when loaded in a gun they simply refuse to yeld any foam.
Is there any way or trick of getting then working?
nailgun?
Drill a hole in the side of the can.
None that don't involve lots of mess....
but that wasn't part of the spec.
Oh... you want to use it in a *controlled* way.
Given that the cans are class F for anything constructive; one might as well think of the most spectacular project
Place at strategic points in the garden[1] and take up a high vantage point with an air rifle. Now just wait for the local errant cat/fox/youth/busybody to enter the blast radius... ;-)
Could be just the thing for curtailing a noisy firework display this time of year!

I've found that a sharp tap down on the valve will sometimes do the trick, always done outside.
.. making sure to avoid the line of fire and especially to make sure that none gets in one's hair.
Treat with respect/fear.

... and here was me thinking that the biggest danger with Evostik was if teenagers but some in a placcy bag.
Been there done that...

dangerous in that regard than any other aerosol can?

Well, thanks you all for your suggestions...some were funny some others more useful. I'll give it a go about tapping the top of the valve...but it seems to me that's probably is better to get rid of them all. As they were sent on an unmarked box - no UP/DOWN indication nor advice of how to store them. I rang the store and got a replacement.
Yes. Throw them away. If it does spray in your direction you will not beat it. Amazingly I am not blind.....................
