I am running out of my spray adhesive, it is not sold in Dominican Republic, can I take spray can in my checked in luggage?I am concerned with the airplane pressure. Thank you!

Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!

I too have flown with cans of hairspray and other sprays, just spray some out, to lower the pressure in the cans and they travel in your checked bags nicely. I've been flying for over 40 years too!

Most spray adhesives are aerosol. I would get Allstitch to mail it to me, rather than place it in my luggage to be put in an unpressurized area. You should be able to take it onboard in a carry-on bag, like one does hair spray??

If it is just a spray and not aerosol you could put it in your luggage, but pretty sure aerosol spray would not be allowed - check your airline or travel agent...

I won a can of temporary adhesive spray at an embroidery calss. I took no chances and had it mailed. Call and ask the airline you are traveling on and perhaps you need to ask about it being mailed out of the country. Perhaps Allstitch that sells the spray can mail it to you. There are options but unfortunately, it will take a little legwork.

I don't ever fly.....but I've heard that you cannot take something like that on an airplane.... Call the airline and ask them.

Before all the sprays came out, someone told me this trick and it does work in a pinch.
Take your water soluble scraps and put them in water until they completely dissolve- put that in a spray bottle and use it for spray adhesive.
If you do much like free standing lace you will notice that after a while the water gets real sticky. You will have to experiment to see how much water. It doesn't take much.

That sound very good and inexpensive, yes i do have a lot of WSS scraps Thank you!!!!

Buy some and post it to yourself?

If you are checking your luggage you should be ok, I have traveled the US and have taken large cans of hair spray in my suitcase. as long as you check it and do not take it on the plane with you

I think you will have to have it shipped to you. It is Non-Flammable gas, but the limit to liquids is 2 oz to my knowledge. Look on your airline Frequently Asked Questions and then you can be sure.;)
