[Shop-talk] rag disposal

[Jack Brooks]

This one hit home a little bit.  I had a smoldering rag under where I had been welding a few years back.  We caught it before it got bad, as I always check the garage before we go to bed and noticed the smoke, but it smoldered for an hour or so unattended.  It was just a single rag on clean concrete, but it could have flamed up and burned anyway.  Simple precautions are all it takes to be safe.

Something we likely all know but here's a short video showing what happens if one does not follow proper disposal procedures of oily rags (& steel wool). Got this from Garage Journal - http://www.garagejournal.com/ - don't blame me for any loss of productivity if you browse the forums there...
