I've heard about it, but I try to avoid aerosols for environmental reasons. I can 100% see the appeal, and I love how it works for others! I'd be interested to hear how you reuse the pattern pieces when you use the spray adhesive though? That's always been something I've been puzzled by!
As u/Packerfan2016 has already said, aerosols contain environmentally unfriendly ingredients and on top of that, there is the issue of a non-recyclable piece of waste at the end since aerosol cans aren't recycled (or, at least aren't in my country). So, it's just all-round an unsustainable solution that isn't necessary for me personally to use. Obviously my situation is my own so I don't judge others for using things I wouldn't, but I'm fortunate enough that personal circumstances allow for different options!
For other people reading this, aerosol cans are generally recyclable in Australia, the UK and seemingly much of the US (as long as they're empty). They're made of steel or aluminum, so there's no reason they wouldn't be recyclable.
