Oily rags - how dangerous?
We all grew up hearing about the danger of oily rags. It was linseed
oil they were talking about, not motor oil. Now that I (hopefully) will be rubbing oil on teak for the rest of my natural life, I expect to producing a lot of these little incendiary bombs. How much of a danger are these left over rags? Is it something that happens just once in a blue moon when a bunch are left in the corner of a shop for a long time in hot weather? If the phone rings and I forget to take one to the dumpster, is it "Good by" boat? If I do toss them in the dumpster, am I at risk of starting a big fire in my favorite marina or boatyard. Is there an approved way of storing or disposing of linseed oil rags? Inquiring mind wants to know. -- Roger Long |
