would it be possible to spray liquid nitrogen out of a weed killer kind of back *pack

no, the pressure would build up and it would explode, providing the coldness didn`t shatter the plastic like it were glass

It's almost as if you looked at what he posted, then posted it again. Spooky.

You'll need an awful lot of expensive equipment to turn nitrogen into a liquid form, and keep it that way. It would be dangerous and horribly impractical.

 

Hot jet chewing gum removers work fine. Liquid nitrogen is a bit... well, overkilly.

A ridiculous idea thats not only totally unecessary, but dangerous, expensive and pointless. Liquid N2 has loads of practical applications already.

I have worked with liquid nitrogen. I even used it to cool new valve seats to insert them into pre-heated heads (nice tight fit). It's a low pressure medium which can be kept in a thermos. It's not particularly dangerous (although I wouldn't dip a finger in it), and it's actually very good at freezing and shattering chewing gum from pavements. Give it a little spray, the apply a steel scraper and it comes off very cleanly.
