Make sure you dont leave the rags laying around!!!

There is a VERY HIGH risk the rags will spontaniously combust. You dont want this to happen. BE CAREFUL and read all warnimg labels. Someone on another site had a very close call when his rags almost burst into flames.

Get an empty gallon paint can and put the used rags in there, then dowse with water.

That is the 64,000$ question.
I think a week is safe, however I usually only have 3 days of patience. Sometimes it causes a problem.
