Question 1

How do you know when the can is Empty?

Accepted Answer

Good question.  Bloxygen is a pressurized can of ultra-pure Argon and, while we have maximized the amount we put in the can, the gas is NOT a liquid and the can feels empty.  You can test your can by feeling and hearing the gas flow when you press the actuator or by trying to squeeze the can with your hands.  An empty can will easily collapse in with hand pressure.  Each can will last for about 75 uses in quarts and about 37 uses in gallons.

Question 2

how many seconds of gas per canister?

Accepted Answer

The instructions say to use 2 seconds of spray for quarts and 4 seconds for gallons.  Each container of Bloxygen contains 150 seconds of gas flow.  This means that, if used on quart containers, your Bloxygen can will last about 75 uses.  These are approximate and the gas used should purge the empty container space completely.  You can judge the flow by using your hand to feel the Bloxygen gas coming out when the actuator is depressed.

Question 3

How do you know when to stop pressing the sprayer?

Accepted Answer

From the Bloxygen.com website, Frequently Asked Questions:

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

First, ALWAYS wear Safety Glasses.
1.  Twist the extension tube into the spray tip.
2.   Hold lid closely above container and spray towards side of the container to avoid any splash.
3.   Spray 2 full seconds for quarts and 4 full seconds for gallons.*
4.   Close lid immediately to seal in heavy gas.

*We recommend 2 seconds for quarts and 4 seconds for gallons assuming that they are half full.  Our "rule of thumb" is to spray enough argon gas into the container to fill the head space twice.  So you'll need less gas if the container is nearly full and more if it is nearly empty.

Question 4

How are you  supposed ti attach the pour spout to a one quart can?
