Re: Peppermint Oil
That is very sad. The article you linked made more sense into what happened.

Re: Peppermint Oil
Yes, sounds like he was making a barrel smoker. I hope his peers look at that horrible event as a learning experience on shop safety.

Re: Peppermint Oil
People tend to think of peppermint as a flavor, but in its undiluted state, it has a high alcohol content. Torch + confined alcohol = BOOM!

Re: Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is very expensive if it is pure. It is most commonly used to keep mice out of you house or shop.

Re: Peppermint Oil
It is a sad story to hear
At first the boy had passed ,then he was revived on route,but his injuries were to bad others were badly injured as well, when it broke with a live broadcast,no one seemed to know what or how it is used i googled it and came up with shop stuff and some poisions wondered if it could be something new body or shop related I'd never heard of then some talk on the radio of it containing ethonal? then it came out they were making smokers and the drums may have contained it

Re: Peppermint Oil
Sux the kid died, but common sense says you make sure a barrel is purged before you cut on it.
The article sure seems like they are on a witch-hunt to blame the folks who used the peppermint oil and then sold the empty barrel. |
