All good to get Colin. I like having stock as well. But I am a little wary of too many inflammable substances around the garage. I used to have 5L each of cellulose thinners, 5L of anti-chill thinners, 5L of IMS, and 5L of White Spirit. But I have run stock down as I'm doing less cabinet work. At the moment I have no thinners left at all but may need some for a cabinet when the weather warms up. I'm out of IMS and wont replace that and I'm buying, slightly more expensive smaller quantities of WS. I do have quite a number of 'rattle cans' of cellulose lacquer and paint.
I don't anticipate a fire but I wonder how you stand with your household insurance? Would large quantities of such easily ignited substances invalidate ? I assume there are regulations on storage and guess this would be in a fire proof steel cabinet that none of us nuts is going to have ?
Maybe I'm just getting more nervous with old age but what is the point of insurance, which if you have it proves you think you need it, if you then possibly invalidate it. No good saying I only had a bit of thinners in there, I'm sure the fire officers are good at the forensic.
