Hello Aaron:

With regard to your looking for training on the corrosion of aerosol containers, my suggestion would be to inquire with the larger aluminum and steel aerosol can companies.  One or more may be a current supplier to Gorilla Glue.  For instance:

You might try contacting each company and find out who the technical representative for the Cincinnati area and/or you company may be.  I am sure that representative would be able to tell what what type of training, if any, is available.

There are a number of third party corrosion courses available through various laboratories and even on YouTube.  However, from a quick look at a few of those, most appear to cover commercial/industrial metal corrosion, but not metal packaging corrosion specifically.  

You could also try contacting the technical people at a company such as S.C. Johnson.  Johnson has done extensive work in container corrosion and someone there may be able to direct you to a good training source.

Hopefully, this information may be helpful to you.  I wish I could be of more assistance, but my 38 year career in metal and plastic packaging included extensive experience in container corrosion evaluation, but in steel and aluminum food and beverage cans.  While the principles of metal corrosion are much the same as they would be for non-food aerosol cans, the hows, whys and what do we do about its are somewhat different.  

All the best in you training search.
