Do not use a garden sprayer rig to bleed your brakes, you will notice that the pump injects air into the bottom of the reservoir, which is partially absorbed by the fluid, and then you are bleeding your brakes with 5606/air mixture.  The air will then separate and collect at the highest point in the brake lines.  I've recently been informed that pressurizing the container (air fitting on top) will also "force" air into the fluid that will escape when the pressure is removed.  So the answer seems to be to to either use a oil can type with a big reservoir, or borrow  Walter's pressure bleeder, which I'll bet is the real one with a bladder between the fluid and the air charge.
