| When
spraying oil-based paint or any other solvent-based coating, make
sure all sources of ignition are extinguished, including cigarettes
and pilot lights. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and work in a
well-ventilated area when using any solvent-based product, such
as oil-based paint, paint thinner or paint remover. Also use a
respirator with the appropriate cartridges.
Rags and sandpaper used to clean up solvents
should be spread out to dry, then placed in a fireproof container.
If left wet in a pile, they could spontaneously combust and
cause a fire.
Know what to do in the case of a fire. Keep
a suitable fire extinguisher nearby.
