[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 423775, member: 15636"] See: https://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infpai/inflinspontaneouscombust.html Be AWARE that when rags soaked w/ boiled linseed oil [b]can start a fire[/b] due to spontaneous combustion. This ain't bull crap or an urban legend ... I want to be sure that everyone knows this, as a good friend's garage and 1/3rd of his house burnt down in a fire started by BLO-soaked rags. Some of you probably know him, as he is a fishing guide in the MD area of the Ch-Bay and posts on their Tidal Forums. FWIW another boater I know, who finishes fine furniture, leaves such rags lying way out on his back lawn to dry or air out and then he stores them for re-use in a closed/sealed steel container. I see MANY here recommending it ... but no one cautioning about the potential FIRE issue ... [/QUOTE]
