Lampworking on bulk propane..... Ok - so I know I need a dry powder type Class A, B & C to cover combustible materials, flammable liquid and gaseous fires. But what size do I need to get?
I thought dry powder was not good for gas fires. A bit like flour spontaniously combusting if it forms fine clouds. Am I wrong?
