Found it on the System Three store site (Bloxygen Left Over Finish Preserver - System Three Resins, Inc) with a little write up.

We just used argon to tent some historical vehicle wool floor mats that were being consumed by clothing moths.
Our reasoning was that the bugs couldn't live without air for X number of days.
We sucked the air out of the Banana Bag with a vacuum cleaner and then slowly re-inflated the plastic bag with argon from a welding supply bottle.
And argon as the most inert gas on the planet wasn't going to react with anything historical in the process.
Or poison anybody riding in the car after 'treatment'.

Don't know about displacing oxygen in a fairly full paintcan with argon. It seems to me it would have to be somehow fogged on to be actually effective, rather than using the supplied straw.

Anything is better than marbles!
And much safer than using propane gas from yer torch!
