Tutorial: converting red fire extinguishers into paint sprayers

Posted on by neversleep

this is a tutorial for converting the red fire extinguishers into paint sprayers, that we think is clear enough for anyone to be able to do. some artists consider these the “wrong” ones because they don’t have a valve stem built in, but you can drill a hole and install a valve. they’re the most readily available ones to find, you see them everywhere once you start paying attention. the red ones are usually smaller, so they hold less paint mixture, but are easier to handle if walking around and using public transport. if anything in the guide isn’t clear, you can also compare youtube videos that show how to convert a fire extinguisher into a water gun, how to recharge a fire extinguisher, or how to install a bolt on valve stem.

The goal of the book fair is to enable people to connect with one another as well as to provide broader access to the rich and varied field of anarchist ideas and practices. Now is the perfect time to be exploring those ideas and practices and bringing them into play in our communities and the world.

Come meet local anarchists and others from all over the globe looking to connect with other anarchists. The Anarchist Book Fair is a place where the ideas, activism, ethics, creativity and history of the contemporary anarchist movement come together in an exciting weekend of community and collaboration.

Long ago the Book Fair adopted a policy of zero-tolerance for racist, sexist, queer-phobic, and other disrespectful behavior that works against collective liberation for all communities.
