When the can is out of propellant but still has material inside, I lay the can on its side, punch a 1/4" hole at either end just under rim, using center punch or similar, and decant material into small jar; it can then be applied with brush. I don't like spraying oil all over the place to begin with.

Nice solution. I don't worry about safety, it will vent first if the pressure is too high and don't think it will ever explode

From what I have found after searching around a bit is that 75 psi is typical for spray cans at full pressure. Being a consumer item, there must be a huge safety factor. If I was doing this, I would not do this with the compressor running and I would keep it under 50 psi. I also would not hold the can in my hand when filling. I also would not pump up a rusted can. Maybe I am overly cautious. But I do not think that getting the last few drops of WD-40 out of the can is worth losing a finger or two.
