More on BLO and others..
http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...e-bye-blo.html
All this stuff .. Are the benifits worth the hazards ? Many times I think Not .. Hobby guys want to use what the big guys (commercial) guys are using but are ill equipped.. (ventilation,fire protection,respirators,protective suits,gloves .. space suit more or less).. I had one commercial guy tell me he feared the hobby guys would find out what he using . Knowing alot of unprepared would endanger thier lives and thier families .. This stuff is NO JOKE.. reason why Bigfish wanted it sticky . When does a hobby become a hazzard .. I'm sure I cross the line myself .. |

Thank you all for this most interesting post! Wow, I knew not to keep oiled rags around but didn't realize they would combust so readily!

I've been using Val oil/MS or Turpentine since I started this maddness. I have settled on val oil/odorless MS (not the "green" odorless MS). I had never heard about a problem with heat generation with val oil until this thread, nor have I experienced it. However I do spread the wipe rags to dry so that may be the reason for not noticing. I don't think that anything will defeat Mother Nature. Boat builders have been trying to "waterproof" wood for centuries...there are lots of "waterlogged" boats sitting on the bottom of ponds and oceans that are testiment to our inability to waterproof wood. Try as we may our coatings will eventually fail for any number of reasons, hook swing is a biach and a yellow eyed devil will surely punch holes in epoxy. But hey it's fun to try.

When I was using BLO and MS I used paper towels to0 wipe them. Then without crumbling them I would place them in a paper bag. When done I placed the paper bag in our trash receptacle leaving it open to breath. When it was time to put the trash to the street for collection I would close the paper bag.
I never experienced a problem.
