Oily Rags Bins
edit at Template:Oily rags bins
Rags that are contaminated with polymerizing oils / oxidizing oils / drying oils (such as danish oil, tung oil and similar) are a fire hazard. They heat up while the oil dries, and if they are bunched up they can heat up until they self-ignite. For this reason, oily rags must not be thrown into the regular garbage.
Oily rags need to be left to dry flat. At North Forge, you can do leave them under the Paint Room Fume Extractor until they are dried.
