A young woman friend of mine(30's) lost her life to a house fire several weeks ago.
It was a really unnecessary tragedy.
The story is some contractors oil stained the wooden deck and did not properly contain the rags. The spontaneous combustion thing is real.She was asleep in an upstairs bedroom above the origin of the fire.
It struck me that among the younger folks,some said "I never heard of such a thing" .
It was pretty common knowledge 20,30 years ago.Maybe shop classes and more use of the products kept awareness up.
Forgive me if you don't need the reminder. Some do.
I would not want your first experiments with linseed or tung oil to light up your reloading powder!
