Plastic caught on fire
« on: 05/13/12 19:55 UTC »
So a buddy and I were reheating some of his old Zoom Speed Worms. He luckily noticed the the plastic in the microwave was on fire. Put the fire out and we were perplexed.

Emded up a small hook was in the plastic. Its must have sparked and ignited the plastic.

Lesson ;earned and maybe someone else will be more carefull like I will.

Glad everyone is okay.  Make sure not to breath any fumes off plastic like this.  The MSDS is on the plastic page.

And I thought I was the only one that had that kind of thing happen . The smell will stay on you clothes even after you wash them . My wife said my clothes smelled like the brimstone of hell . I told I did see the fire. LOL
