Hi Jeff. No. The pictures can be deceiving. Peel and stick is a strip with aluminum backing on one side and waxed paper on the sticky side which is pulled off, discarded and the sticky side is placed on a clean surface and pressed down. There is no can. It just looks like one in the pictures. I believe there is a video that is much clearer.
Good luck. This has been a thought provoking thread for me also.

Just so I’m clear - peel and seal is a wrap of some sort? When I google it I see a wrap but also a can that I assume you apply with a brush?
If someone has a link to the Lowes product it would be appreciated!
Only downside I have read about is that it may sag on vertical surfaces. ORR sounds like that’s what you’ve done? Any bad experiences with sagging? (I’m talking about the van now!)
Thanks
Jeff

I also used it on the front area under dashboard; unfortunately, this sheet metal area must get pretty warm from front radiator blow by, and as a result, evidence of "tar" dripping down on the sides into footwells. I clean it up, and it later re-appears. But, even then, I have had no "tar" odors. It's been in place over 12 years. And yes, very significant road noise reduction, so worth it to me.
