Used one of these goofy looking cans earlier today in 45-48° weather on both sides of a tin sump pump cover. Can was about 70° and sprayed decent. Just a little drool needed to be wiped off the nozzle end. More better than holding nozzle on the top down with a finger for me.

I have an old coffee brewer that I use to warm spray cans. I set a timer so I don`t forget & blow it up.

Always best to keep the cans warm and shake for 60 seconds or more before use.
