Hi All,

Question of the week:

BLO is known for spontaneous combustion if left on rags (and presumably paper towels). As such care must be taken in disposing of them. The can recommends letting them dry completely out in the sun. Well, it's winter around here and there's not a whole lot of sun or warmth.

I have been putting the used paper towels in a zip-lock bag filled with water and with the air (aka oxygen) squeezed out. I am assuming this should be sufficient.

How do you dispose of your BLO soaked rags?
