I've got half a gallon of paint "super remover" in a pressure cooker, what's the quickest way to defeat the cooker's safety valve? Soldering it shut, or welding it shut? Please hurry, it's starting to boil. Thanks!

Quick! Get a hammer and a piece of wood. Drive the wood into the hole. Keep banging on it until something happens.
You're welcome!
Forget the safety valve... Just put the whole thing in a bigger pressure cooker. That's what I'd do. :)

JB Weld, it'll fix anything.
I'm never going to grow up.
Don't do anything at all, just stand by to make sure it goes off.
One less problem.

Put self-tapping screws into the tubes where the vent valves go, and for safety's sake, plug both of them. Unfortunately the nanny state further hinders your right to freedom of expression by requiring pressure cookers to have a slot in the side of the lid to make the gasket bulge out if both vent valves fail.
So. Wile E. Coyote finaly has internet access.
It's easy to think outside the box, when you have a cutting torch.
I'm guessing this pressure cooker was manufactured by Acme.
But it was shipped without the safety umbrella. :(
