I doubt this. When I tested this out on my 92 Jetta it used about half of the 17 oz propane torch bottle I had picked up. Not only is a hairspray container smaller than that, I doubt it's mostly propane. (I will say this... MAN OH MAN DID IT COOL WELL! It was almost unbelievable... 95* day at very high humidity and it was blowing 38* at the vents with the resirc off! There was a river under the car from all the water pouring off the evaporator.)

The concern about fire is valid IMHO. Fuel lines do not run inside the dashboard.
