Isn't that when those rags become combustible? I thought in HS we had a fire from oil soaked rags. ???
Where I used to live, there was an old woodworking dude. His garage/workshop burned to the ground from throwing linseed soaked rags in a steel garbage can. At least that was what was reported on the local news.... spontaneous combustion......

Uh, my rv360xl came with a regular head when I asked for a brush head.. I posted here, PMed @Rotovac, called Nick and left a message.. Waited over a week before I did anything.. I needed to use it on a big job last night and today..

I'd still like the brush head..

You should be happy for any head you can get.

Best thing on the rags is to hang them on a wire, outside. They'll harden and dry, but not burn because the heat can dissipate.

If you used Boiled linseed oil on outside wood, it is going to turn black in a month. Inside, no problem.

Nice and golden while we can enjoy it
