Get It Safe (to Cut)
Hold down with tape, rubber bands, younger brother, the trigger to let all the compressed gas out.
Remove plastic top.
After that Drill a small hole in the top to let the rest out if there is any. To do this use a hole punch and make a divot in the top of the can so the drill bit wont move around.

Cutting
Look on the can there is a shoulder were the cape clips on cut there.
Try to keep the cut straight with the can. Try to use a vary fine toothed bladed to keep the metal from getting all torn up.
And like I did put it in a vise but don't smash it just keep it so it does not fall when cutting.
Cut away.

Use the large file to clean the out side of the can were it was cut but on push inward to the center of the can.
Then use the small file to get the in side of the can with a out word motion.
repeat about 3 times or till you are satisfied with it.
