I live in Arizona where the temp. is often quite high. I am concerned that the propellant for the bear spray will, in time, leak out or even explode

Any propellent like this can explode if left in the heat. This is also true for fire extinguishers. It is supposed to be stored at room tempreture.

store the bear spray at room temp. i have not had any problems as i store it in my backpack. but i keep it from getting hot from direct exposure to extreme heat sources.

A good friend of mine actually had a can of bear spray explode in her glovebox a few years ago, here in Phoenix. Good thinking, Romar.

I had the same question. My solution is to keep it in the closet in the house until we are ready to go out. I do the same with any liquid item, batteries, etc., that the AZ heat is likely to destroy.

I am sorry, I do not have an answer. It was 96 degrees here today in Yakima, WA; and it did not seem to bother the bear spray.

It really depends on cold it gets in your crawl space and if you can keep the space warm during the spraying. The temperatures Ryan.H has mentioned apply to the mixture tanks, ambient temp, and the surface you are spraying on, otherwise the mix may not raise or not stick and will not provide the desired results and RU protection. Keeping a sustained temp in all three areas and being able to ventilate the space as you spray will be key. The fumes if not moved out will can make you sick. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is reasonable to believe it can be used in such a capacity. No bear spray is 100% effective, however. This product is not EPA approved (and never applied for such approval).

If you finish using it before the can is empty, turn it upside down and spray until it clears the nozzle and only propellant comes out. It should then work fine next time you use it.

As long as it has a propane hookup and a power source, it has a temp sensor that will fire it up to keep it from freezing.

I use this in the receiver and on the BCG instead of the oil to keep my weapon wet. In Arizona the extreme heat together with the heat from firing the weapon requires a little thicker lube. It's not as thick as you may think of grease normally. It's a perfect viscosity to keep the weapon wet under extreme conditions. Never used it in the barrel. I usually run a pad with the slip 2000 oil one time through for storage.

I hope you get an answer since I was wondering that myself. I left mine in but used it again in the next day or so. It was always ready to fire. I think these other folks are correct because I am sure it would eventually leak out. I like the suggestions for enhancing the seal.

I would think so. The plastic is pretty rigid and probably the same type used in automobiles. I have one in Alabama and the summers are 95-100. I am not familiar with a summer in Arizona with the "dry heat" and higher temps. I am quite happy with mine. I use it on my deck to keep my grill and grilling accessories out of the weather. It suites my needs wonderfully.

I would not use that around HIGH HEAT. There is a black spray paint called "High Heat" for BBQ grills.

It will empty all in 5 seconds, so unless you do a test spray quick I would not expect a second attempt. Also, if the bears partner gets you, then its all she wrote - lol.

most definitely not! you have to be touching the person, if a bear is charging you the last thing your gonna be thinking is where is my stun gun... lol, and it isn't deadly to a human, bears have been known to still get a person after several real guns have tried to take it down. also if it did happen to work by some happening.... when you stop pressing the button the bear will be right there to finish what you started.... perhaps an extremely rapid tranquilizer dart gun is what you should invest in, i think they make then in both rifle and hand gun styles.

It does the same for me as well. Since I use it nearly daily it isn't as much of a problem for me. I find that I have to fill it weekly to get consistent fire. I'm sure the environment you store it in will effect the evaporation as well, I'm currently experimenting with this as I store both my Zippos and my misc pipe/cigar tools in a small sealed kitchen jar my wife donated to the cause. So far good results.

I rode through the Mojave desert with this container in 115° F + temps. It never leaked. It is plastic so the only spark hazard might possibly be from static electricity, which would not be a problem on a hot day. So, I would say, no, at least no more than any other gas container that meets US standards.

I know it has been applied to surfaces that receive a lot of sun & therefore heats up & does not suffer ill effect- so it could be. But the product spray can itself would need to be kept from heat as usual.

It is a fuel additive ,so if it is sealed tightly it should be good fo a fairly long time.Otherwise it will evaporate and not be any good.

I have never used this glue at high temperatures. You may want to call the company.

Contrary to a previous answer this spray is approximately 10x more potent than a bear spray. This is a fairly common misconception and can be verified with a quick Google search. The main difference is that bear spray has increased range and volume output.
