I don't doubt this. The instructions on the can - which becomes a
pressure canister when you pump it up (it works like a deck/garden
sprayer) by the way - say the contents should be warm before
applying. I'll bet unless the contents are thoroughly heated that
the viscosity would be too great to spray effectively. I will
share, though, that in following the Land Rover list for several
years, this stuff was both used and recommended in the DIY
pump-up kit form - so while compressor spraying would no doubt be
preferable, it must not be t-h-a-t impossible to use without a
compressor based on the commentary I've seen.
