Summary of How to Protect Yourself

Content: When solvents are used, anything they come in contact with will in turn become combustible. This includes the painting surface, the solvent itself and any spills, and most importantly saturated rags or paper towels. Also, and most importantly, oil and solvent-soaked rags can ignite spontaneously. This means that they can burst into flames from a chemical reaction only. It does not need an outside source such as a spark or flame to ignite. Recommended solutions for fire hazard: Use a stainless steel or metal paint brush washing bucket with a sealed lid. You want to make sure your flammable solvents and solutions are sealed in an air-tight, flame-proof metal container. The Monique artist stainless steel paint brush washer has all the features I like in a good washing bucket. This Monique Artist Stainless Steel Paint Brush Washer will ensure your studio is safer.
