No. The spray can will just be shaped like a volcano.
So is this the beginning influx of reddit jokes on HN?

Then take PCB's, or mercury and other hvy metal poisoning. Or radium (maybe a different radioactive) they use to paint on clock/watches to make them glow in the dark.
"Or radium (maybe a different radioactive) they use to paint on clock/watches to make them glow in the dark." You're thinking of tritium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_illumination
Yeah, or radium:

Like scotty79 said, we'll just end up in another 'antibiotic-resistant bacteria'-type situation. Some bacteria will find a way to thrive on those surfaces, and we'll have little defense against it. By that time we'll be largely dependent on those types of surfaces and it won't be easy to change everything out.
Time to start working on the pre silica-resistant-bacteria-killer startup research.
I guess it is called 'normal bacteria'.

#144What if it flakes off? How structurally stable is it? If a wide variety of things start using it, will it increase the risk of silicosis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis ) when using these products?
Concerns of breathing in this silicate have been popping up a lot in this discussion (especially concerns about silicosis). I’d just like to point out that we’re discussing very small quantities; nano-coatings of ~100nm, only 15-30 molecules high as mentioned in the articles. Wikipedia states that the silicate clusters ascribed to silicosis each have a diameter of ~10 microns; each clusters is 100 times larger than t…
None of what you said gives me any comfort. In fact the opposite. I thought the lungs have a chance to capture large particles and that too small particles getting into your lungs is the cause of disease.

How do you wash your teflon pans?
I misread this as teflon pants and thought "pretty specialty purpose but I bet it'd make cleanup easy"...
Teflon is Du Pont's brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene. Gore-Tex is Gore & Associates's brand name for thermo-mechanically expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. Gore-Tex is commonly used to make pants. Given that you wrote "Teflon" in lower-case, they probably qualify as "teflon pants" to you.
