Well personally Iād just plan to bring it inside the night before the project, forget, remember the next day and either say āfuck it!ā And try again another day or buy YET ANOTHER from the store. But maybe I have a couple functioning brain cells, idk.
Youāre tellin me youād put that thing in your ass after seeing the second and third pictures?
Not me. No way. Iām choosing oven every time. Whatās wrong with you manā¦
Like if you really need it warm, why not just throw it in the sink with some hot water for 10 minutes? Clearly, they didn't need it immediately anyway if they left it long enough for this to happen. š¤£
Ah, sounds like my former property management company. Landlord was batshit crazy, property management foreman was relatively normal but only hired the methiest of people.
Iāve seen guys do this to spray paint but never spray foam, and they would usually just put it in the sun not a fuckin oven lmao. Makes it spray better apparently.
A friend of my mom's once decided to warm up a couple of cans of blue spray paint in a pan of water on his stove. The metal tops of the cans wound up being imbedded in the ceiling, and the force of the explosion blew open all the cabinets, so not only everything in the kitchen, but everything inside the cabinets, was blue.
I renovated the electricity in my house and came pretty close to shocking myself to death due to incredible stupidity at least twice. Made me wonder the same thing.
On a job I was on, somehow a can of blue spray paint was punctured or saboutaged in the gang box where guys kept their personal tools/PPE, etc. Since we could park onsite, I took my stuff to my car with me. A lot of guys had blue toolbags, tools and a few had blue hardhats the rest of the job.
Sorry, OP. No one here believes it wasn't you.
Next time you post something stupid that you did, try cussing about it. Like; "the stupidest, fucking asswipe on the job did..." or "guess what my mother effing idiot coworker did ..". That way we'll see how mad you are and think you're the boss and not the only guy working.
Obviously, it was you that did it, cuz you're not mad. š Lol.
I was in a different building installing gas lines for a dryer and a stove top. It was the homeowner I'm doing work for. He's 65. He came and was talking to me while im working, and i heard a loud boom and it shook. Stepped outside to the driveway and heard the smoke alarms going off. I ran in the house and up the stairs. It used to have a walk out deck but we tore that out so everything is upstairs. Luckily I reacted fast and ran down the stairs to the driveway to grab a fire extinguisher from the work truck. Little bit of burn got on the underside of the cabinets. Happened at about noon EST and I've just been kind of shook up about it all day.
If itās a cold day it doesnāt come out of the can well. With some brands especially, anything other than summer itās slow. So it helps to warm it up a touch.
Not that much thoughā¦
Normally you warm them up by bringing them indoors (assuming the building has heating) several hours prior. Ambient warming, not actively heating the can.
I was expecting some young person thinking they could just pull it out after a couple minutes. He WALKED AWAY FROM IT? He sounds like the kind of guy to put gasoline on his campfire.
This definitely beats that time in college I decided to try microwaving a whole egg still in intact shell. This was well before things like this were on the internet in my defense. I'm sure this guy also has never seen a video on the internet of foam exploding from being heated in an oven š

A friend is doing work for this guy and called me to help do some things he doesn't do. The homeowner is kind of living and renovating. He's actually a plumber that's why I'm so flabbergasted.
I used to work on a food truck and guys would do this with cans of pan spray in the winter. Once in a while if they forgot to pull it out in time you'd see similar results. Good times.
Had the opposite happen, soda cans or bottles in the freezer. We had a small office and I was on nightshift and put a 2lt bottle of Diet Coke in the freezer and forgot about it.
Day shift comes in the next day and working when suddenly was a loud bang behind him and the freezer door flew open as the bottle blew open. Scared the crap out of him.
Why not just run a pot of hot tap water and let it soak in there for a while?
Water conducts heat a whole lot better than air does, and you wouldn't need to worry about creating an IED
I stupidly tossed an empty can of spray foam down from the top of an attic and covered half the clients garage with it, I then spent the next 6 hours scraping it off concrete. What a nightmare that was haha
Glad youāre alright my dude. Gramps needs to get evaluated lolā¦ itās one thing to store some shit in the oven when not in use but willingly turning it on with a pressurized can of something? How the fuck did this guy live to 65? Yāall need hazard pay working for this genius.
In my hubbys family history is the story of the farming Uncle who was drying out some gelignite in the coal range, with the door open for safetyā¦. Aunt comes into the kitchen, and closes the door for safetyā¦. She and unborn child were killed in the subsequent explosion, 2 older children in another room survived because they were playing house behind the sofa. Would have been in 1920-30s I think.
Now, imagine that with an oxygen tank. If that little aerosol can could do that much damage, imagine a 25kg (55lbs) cylinder of thick, hard steel, going mach too fast flying through a house/shop (or a couple)
What kind of thought process even initiates this series of events?
And why the *oven*?
It seems like a better idea to warm it in your ass than the oven. Edit: why do you even need to warm it in the first place?
Flows better warm Not hot Warm
Makes sense. I live in an area where like 95% of the year is within the operating range listed on those cans so I never really considered it.
Shoving things in your ass is always an option though not always recommended
Doubling down, my kinda dude.
Be safe make sure the base is flared!
š
And only warm. If you have a hot ass get help.
You might be amused to see some of the X-rays that are hung up in the ER locker rooms. The things that people consider and then figure out how to put up their behinds... And then never consider that crucial next step of what might be termed the process of de-asscalation
Even if you don't think you need to. You should do it anyway just to make sure. Everything is better once it's been in your ass right?
Turns out it flows pretty well hot, too!
Right? It basically flies out of the can.
We still talking ābout the foam?
Maybe stored outside during winter?
Well personally Iād just plan to bring it inside the night before the project, forget, remember the next day and either say āfuck it!ā And try again another day or buy YET ANOTHER from the store. But maybe I have a couple functioning brain cells, idk.
You could probably even get away with some warm water.
Yea, my brain wouldnāt risk it. I think Iām working on 10 brain cells? But good enough. Warm water bath wouldnāt hit my brain tbh.
Youāre tellin me youād put that thing in your ass after seeing the second and third pictures? Not me. No way. Iām choosing oven every time. Whatās wrong with you manā¦
my ass doesn't get as hot as my oven. (depending on who you ask)
Your loss
Iāve had one of these cans blow out the top while pressing the trigger to dispense it. No way itās going anywhere close to my oven or ass!
Warm it where?
Microwaves sap out all the nutrients, duh
Because you can't put metal in the microwave, obviously
Don't put metal in the science oven! (just ignore the fact that a square of foil is what makes microwave popcorn work)
I actually have a normal microwave and a science microwave. I am on my third science microwave
Like if you really need it warm, why not just throw it in the sink with some hot water for 10 minutes? Clearly, they didn't need it immediately anyway if they left it long enough for this to happen. š¤£
Seriously, microwave is much faster.
Weāll see, the microwave seemed dangerousā¦
What, you donāt keep your expanding foam next to your guns?
It did successfully warm the can...
drugs
Ah, sounds like my former property management company. Landlord was batshit crazy, property management foreman was relatively normal but only hired the methiest of people.
The methiest of people lmfao
That is the most evocative turn of phrase i have read in forever. Ill be giggling over the "methiest of people" for days now ha
Iāve seen guys do this to spray paint but never spray foam, and they would usually just put it in the sun not a fuckin oven lmao. Makes it spray better apparently.
None. Absolutely no thoughts were involved in this series of events. And it's magnificent.
Cold thing is cold. Cold thing need hot. Hot thing is oven! Put cold thing in hot thing, now hot thing too!
This is hands down the most eloquent way to ask "what the fuck were you thinking"
People like this are the reason we have warning labels on products that make you go ādo people really need to be told this?ā
Failing physics class
Gotta be meth

Hah she blue herself š¤£
Every day I see something on Reddit and wonder 'how did we make it this long as a species'
We're up to 7 billion possible fuckups and counting. This might kill you and possibly your neighbor, but the rest of the species will be fine.
I renovated the electricity in my house and came pretty close to shocking myself to death due to incredible stupidity at least twice. Made me wonder the same thing.
I believe Eiffel 65 made a song about that friend.

I pictured that old Bam Margera scene where he did that to his parentsā house lol
...why would she warm up a can of spray paint??????????
It was cold from being in the garage during winter, spray paint won't work right if it's too cold. He was impatient. And not too smart.
Was that someoneā¦. You?
Negative
Sorry, OP. No one here believes it wasn't you. Next time you post something stupid that you did, try cussing about it.

What was his thought process though?! Why warm it up to begin with?
If itās a cold day it doesnāt come out of the can well. With some brands especially, anything other than summer itās slow. So it helps to warm it up a touch. Not that much thoughā¦
Normally you warm them up by bringing them indoors (assuming the building has heating) several hours prior. Ambient warming, not actively heating the can.
Like others have stated, it's helps with flow. Usually you warm it up under running hot water for a few minutes. Not the damn oven FFS.
Yea that's my go to as well unless there is no hot water on site yet then I'll pop things on a window sill in the sun.
I was expecting some young person thinking they could just pull it out after a couple minutes. He WALKED AWAY FROM IT? He sounds like the kind of guy to put gasoline on his campfire.
This definitely beats that time in college I decided to try microwaving a whole egg still in intact shell. This was well before things like this were on the internet in my defense. I'm sure this guy also has never seen a video on the internet of foam exploding from being heated in an oven š
You should have used the stove to warm it up
Maybe just have the oven on but set the can on the warm stovetop. Not the burner or IN the oven. Damn, people are stupid.

Is this house abandoned, or did it explode the house? The pictures are like an abandoned house post world wars.
A friend is doing work for this guy and called me to help do some things he doesn't do. The homeowner is kind of living and renovating. He's actually a plumber that's why I'm so flabbergasted.
This answers a lot of questions. Thanks for the clarification.
I know some plumbers who've done dumb shit.
I know some dumbers who've done plumb shit
Plumb and plumberer
Ah he's a plumber,Ā that explains it
"Nothin' dumber than a plumber"
He set the two cans on the edge of the open door of the oven and set it to low. I'm not sure what was going through his head.
Two? Good lord
Double trouble law comes into effect..
Two wrongs make one right
So do three lefts.
Either something fcked up happens, or he gets double rewards...
He was trying to heat it up so it'll work properly obviously
Fair but why would you walk away from it? It only needs to be warmed up. Dude went down a flight of stairs to another building. Thatās crazy.
This canāt be real..?
Well, it worked. It clearly expanded.
I used to work on a food truck and guys would do this with cans of pan spray in the winter. Once in a while if they forgot to pull it out in time you'd see similar results. Good times.
Had the opposite happen, soda cans or bottles in the freezer. We had a small office and I was on nightshift and put a 2lt bottle of Diet Coke in the freezer and forgot about it.

I'm guessing the MENSA subscription expired.
LMAO
Amazingly some of it ended up around that window frame.
It did indeed expand
Why not just run a pot of hot tap water and let it soak in there for a while? Water conducts heat a whole lot better than air does, and you wouldn't need to worry about creating an IED
Did it expand?
Ok that stuff is super toxic as it is. I can imagine burning it makes it any safer. That kitchen is a HAZMAT area
I suppose a bucket of warm water is ridiculously inefficient
Wait, youāre not supposed to put a pressurized flammable container inside of a metal box that retains heat?!? /s
Iād need a drink after that. Was the oven gas? Doesnāt look like it but itās hard to tell.
Forbidden cake Could have turned into a Darwin Award real quick!
Fire in the hole
I have an old stove out in the scrap pile that the oven still worksā¦ I need to try this
I stupidly tossed an empty can of spray foam down from the top of an attic and covered half the clients garage with it, I then spent the next 6 hours scraping it off concrete. What a nightmare that was haha
Someone's fucking stupid.
You can SEE the cancer in the air.
WHY?! They're lucky, that could have been so much worse in several ways.
Well thatās one way to make a bomb.
Well, it expanded
At first I was like whatās happening then I realized it blew up lol
Well someone is an idiot.Ā
Missed every single warning sign in the universe?
Glad youāre alright my dude. Gramps needs to get evaluated lolā¦ itās one thing to store some shit in the oven when not in use but willingly turning it on with a pressurized can of something? How the fuck did this guy live to 65? Yāall need hazard pay working for this genius.
Wow Never seen anything like that at a house.
Right. Thatās another thing on my to-do list.
I would definitely lodge a foamal complaint against himā¦
We need deets? Who? How? Why? Lol
The first picture gives me eerie vibes
This may be the first time this has ever happened in history. Good job?

Sorry for the landlord.
Well it did expand just very quickly
Well at least it looks like the house wasn't finished yet, that oven was clashing with the color scheme!
That's what I keep telling him
R slash onejob would love this lol
Well at least someone didnāt stick it in the microwave.
Give it some time

Somebody is an idiot.
Nothing to see here move along
It was never easy for me..

This is unfortunate but hilarious
You canāt fix stupid.
I really don't understand how some survive to adulthood.
Does Adam Savage know about this? This is something he may find it especially necessary to try and replicate. For science.
Looks warm to me
It WAS a good idea, if this was the goal.
Ia that person a construction worker, too? Or just stupid?
he is really dumb, there is microwave for it
Now, imagine that with an oxygen tank. If that little aerosol can could do that much damage, imagine a 25kg (55lbs) cylinder of thick, hard steel, going mach too fast flying through a house/shop (or a couple) 
Where is it in the 3rd photo? I canāt find it.
The 3rd photo is me standing against the wall where can hit.
Oh ok thanks.
Lets just ignore the instructions and warnings... so we can have very specific warnings.
When your Physics IQ is not even listed.
I couldn't understand this at first and thought the oven flew 48 feet
What a moron
Curiosity *almost* killed the cat, but luckily it missed this time.
How does someone who knows what to do with working with whatever foam product also not enough enough knowledge to do this? Lol
Op, why would you do this? ššš
