Fascinating. I just put the oily rags inside some kind of container together with plenty of water… I’m still confident that it’s good enough, but it’s scary how quick it can combust!

Hmm…
When I was in printing we used oily rag cans (closed lid, designed for this) just for this reason. In my own shop I have 2, and I don’t use flammable finishes much.

I lay them out on the garage or basement floor (both concrete). I also don’t use nearly as much finish as that guy did. :slight_smile:

Not saying it can’t happen, but certainly raises some valid points about the legitimacy of this particular video

Dude sure rocks that video, lol. And peeps wonder why i dont youtube :wink:
