Re: Liberon boiled linseed oil
My understanding is that the danger of self-ignition of oily rags is real enough, but relates to them being crumpled up into a wad or pad in a confined space. When I have finished using a rag I always unfold it completely, spread it out and hang it up or drape it over the top of a piece of wood to expose all of its surface to the atmosphere. Like this I cannot see how any heat generated by decomposition could develop that would remotely approach ignition temperature.
