[Shop-talk] Shop fire mitigation

[Pat Horne]

My shop wood stove farted the other night & pretty well gutted my shop. I've almost gotten it emptied out & it is repairable. 

What is the collective thought on cleaning stuff? I know that the smoke is acidic, so I should use something with a high ph. I found Greased Lightning works better than anything I've tried. I am thinking about refilling my parts washer w/solvent for metal stuff. 

The apartment on top of the shop got lots of smoke damage, so I need to clean that too. 

Thanks in advance

Peace,
Pat
