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..

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
