Another question on storing rags. If I am part way through a 3 coat process using BLO or similar I tend to store the wet rag in a plastice container with a lid so that the rag doesn't go stiff between uses and can be used for the next coats. After I am finished I throw the rag outside until it goes stiff then dispose of - Am I presenting a fire risk storing the wet rag???? URGENT I have one at home now in a container, should I call my wife and get her to throw it out???
