Give up smoking.
Give up smoking.
Folks,
I'm building a large shed that will be used as a workshop. All wood construction (yup, roofing felt, screws, nails, insulation excepted). Thinking out loud the interior walls will in all probability be ply or some other similar sheet material and I was wondering if (a) a fire retardant treatment may be available and (b) whether it would be practicable in use.
A spark generating bench grinder would be the most likely source of sparks
- other than my cigarettes of course - the workshop being used for model making, a fair bit of woodwork and very light metal work (and I'm not the tidiest worker - shavings and sawdust everywhere, proper clean-ups tend to happen only when I can't see my tools/machines).
Thoughts, suggestions, ideas anyone?
Tidy up more often.
Even if the building was entirely non-combustible, it's sawdust that will take a spark - not solid timbers.

And oil impregnated paper towels smoulder nicely. Also ISTR several people in here have set their clothes alight while angle grinding.
Tidy up!

Nobody here actually *uses* angle grinders, do they?
Depending on the oil, they can even self-ignite. Danish oil tins warn of this.

Don't go dripping resin catalysts about either.
