| About Aerosols
Common hazardous ingredients
Methylene chloride, nitrous oxide, o-phenylphenol, propane, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene
Potential hazards
Containers may explode if heated; contents may be highly flammable,
irritants, corrosives, toxins or poisons.
Use and storage
Use in a well-ventilated area (preferably outdoors) and follow instructions.
Avoid breathing vapors. NEVER burn aerosol cans or place them in
a trash compactor, even if the cans are comletely empty. Prevent
nozzles from becoming clogged. Give the spray button a quarter turn
before spraying. If a spray opening becomes clogged while the can
is in use, turn it upside down and spray for a few seconds. Always
do this when you have finished painting. Store in a locked cabinet
or out of reach of children and away from sources of heat or flames.

Second best: Hold for a household hazardous waste collection.

Quality at (503) 229-5913 or toll-free at 1-800-452-4011.
