Title: Fire Hazard?
Post by: TiAvenger on April 14, 2009, 10:23:23 PM
So I was down in the garage happily sanding away at my styrofoam plug (expanded bead stuff like in packing materials) and I occurred to me just now, is that a big time fire hazard?

I mainly worried about dust in the air and an ignition source (the water heater.)  I had the garage door opened about 2 feet, and there was no visible dust in the air when I finished up.


Am I going to get blowed up tonight while I sleep?  :'(

Anything flammable can become explosive if it turns into dust and has an ignition source.  Saw dust can do very impressive things.  Just keep the door open and have a cheap box fan running to blow the dust out.  Vacuum up when you're done and you should be fine.
