English term or phrase: propellant charged, caulk-style can....
We are talking about an adhesive that is sold in such a can. I gather that it is some sort of spraying can.

What is it????? I have found on the net some "caulk style tubes", but I don't know what they are....
I enclose a picture, assuming you can see it:=)

Selected answer:A tube/can with a long nozzle
Explanation:
Caulk has traditionally been applied with a special caulking gun designed for that purpose. However, manufacturers of caulking products have recently begun offering their products in squeeze tubes or pressurized can with an extended narrow tip so the do-it-yourselfer doesn’t have to invest in a caulking gun for just one simple repair job. Applying caulk is a fairly simple task, although it may take a bit of practice to perfect drawing a uniform bead. Before applying any type of caulk, be sure that all surfaces are clean and dry.
