ive done this method many times but rather then throwing a match i just use the can like a flame thower then theres no potential of gettin match sticks in your tyre also not that it will prob cause any problems and some times ill pit the valve in and it almost pumps the tyre up 1/2 way when she goes off

megatexture,

Please don't take this the wrong way and while I don't doubt the method in the madness, I WOULD NOT EVER recommend holding a spray can and putting a match to it to use it like a flamethrower, I would hate to see anyone lose a limb or life. It's not just tow balls that kill. I think it might be better to have to extract a couple of burnt matches next time you get the tyre checked.

As i said please don't take what I've written the wrong way but we need to encourage responsible behaviour in a public forum.

Na no problem mark.
I think it’s more a case of never having matches and if u leave it to long between spraying in the tyre and igniting, it won’t go off and seat the bead.
i think most ppl would do it with the danger in the back of there mind.

Sure enough it's not the safest method out there but handy non the less :-). It's one of those things that is NOT the right thing to do however if your sensible and have a decent amount of common sense, and your confident you can pull it off safely, you shouldn't have any drama's I've used spray can to pop beads many times in the past and never had trouble, I'd love to say I usually tried the correct method first but I can admit when arse deep in mud, I don't mind taking the easy way.
