hof00 Posted September 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2020 Hi All, Thought I'd share a very recent experience.... In my Ship Room, I have a Nylon Type Carpet protecting the Carpet under. I bumped the CA bottle off the workbench, a small pool spilled on the Nylon Carpet and it started to heat up, hissed, bubbled and started to give off fumes.... (Something like the Acid in Alien movies.) It didn't last for too long but enough to give me concern. I guess ensure you are careful.... Cheers....HOF.

From experience: under no circumstances breathe in the smoke or fumes. The smoke is HOT and I needed medical help after a similar accident occurred on the workbench right under my nose, burning my sinuses. Good warning, might save someone some pain. mtaylor, Ryland Craze and Canute 3 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted September 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2020 Another conclusion: no carpets under work areas, particularly where liquids are used (I am not talking about oriental rugs under dining tables ...;) ). If you can't remove the carpet, put a hard surface over it under the worktable and where your chair is.
