Question:

Can I use my OLD fire extinguisher..?

It is a 10lb dry chemical fire extinguisher (ammonium phosphate base). Classification : A, B, and C.Its last service was March 23, 1995 (LOL) and its a powder extinguisher if that helpsAnyways the real question here is can I use the damn thing without it blowing up in my face.. or having some sort of difficulty, its pretty damn aged if you ask me.Im gonna use it for some good ol' dangerous fire extinguisher fights, stupid, but intensly fun. Tell me if so and why, thanks!

Answer:

I think it will be fine if you seal it with decoupage medium first. I have a gummi lollipop that's at least 6 years old, still in the wrapper and it looks fine. .
Don't you watch New Yankee Workshop? Norm Abrams always says before using any power tools, read, follow and understand all about operating your tools safely and remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these safety glasses. So to answer your question yes you should, all it takes in 1 flying piece of crud to take your eye out.
Thinking about it.since its in the resin its going to be in a vacuum. The lack of air means it should not break down. But, the candy is made of surgar and should break down in sunlight and in hot weather. I do not think it will work very well. Just a wild guess on my part. Good luck and let me know if it works. I'm curious now.
