I stand corrected - thank you. Never did pass 'A' level chemistry :?
Sorry to sound nannying, but I'd just like to add that CO is 'heavier' than air so, in still air, carbon monoxide will tend to collect at ground...
Personally, I would not run a pressure lamp indoors. Regarding CO, feeling sleepy and/or headache are clear warning signs (gas water heaters have...
Thank you kindly - makes sense and something that can be applied to other situations.
Sorry for the daft question, but what purpose does the pump serve? Is it just to keep some air flowing through the tank during the curing? I...
