Unkel Kunkel Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Vehicle fires can be fast and so furious that the waxoyl probably won’t add much to the general mayhem from the petrol paint tyres upholstery etc so I wouldn't worry,Dave. Years ago there seemed to be a spate of fibreglass Reliant Robins “brewing-up”. They were rather dramatic. I had a Scimitar then with a few wiring issues. I thought about it now and then -mainly when putting 17 gallons of petrol in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ? Can you fill in some details. I've not heard of that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I think it's just something he's done in the past. He's not not much of health and safety sort of guy, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 How long does Iggy Pop were his socks? Pretty flammable themselves I imagine, or am I doing him a disservice? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to put on than a glove and saves burns. You can close your hand around burning wiring and snuff out the flames, much better than ineffectual patting or waving with a cloth.
