  • Page 27 Aerosol-Tight Applications Checking the aerosol Tightness 3. Close the bucket or the rotor as explained in the handling instructions. 4. Shake the bucket or the rotor vigorously using your hands. This releases the carbonic acid gas which is bound in the water, resulting in excess pressure. Do not apply pressure to the lid when doing so! Leaks can be detected by escaping water or the sound of escaping gas.
