Hi @Bobzchem
I want to put the starch in a plastic with a pump like SPRAY COVER/ spray gun. the ones used in glass cleaners…just the local home available plastics.
my intention is to see how i.make d starch in my kitchen with the CO2 added and then pure into the can and seal it.
so when i spray it wud come out as though it aerosol compressed..
please what do i do?

are you saying you want to use carbon dioxide as a propellant for an aerosol spray?

You are running into a force/power containment problem. There’s no way to keep a CO2 charge in a regular sprayer - it just leaks out.If you don’t want to just use the hand sprayer, you have three options:1) use a pump-pressurized sprayer or mister:2) Use a compressed air-powered sprayer with a separate can:3) use an electric sprayer
