Warning
image.jpg
I was lucky yesterday to get away with as little damage as I did , I using a grinder inside the sleeper of a kenworth , I was cutting an aluminium panel out from a storage area under the bunk , we always use silocon spray on the cutting wheel to stop it grabbing on the alloy ( it works extreamly well ) . Unbeknown to me the can had a microscopic leak, I had it sitting outside the compartment I was grinding in , it had leaked out of the can and drifted down into the compartment , when I started to do the last bit of grinding I touched a bolt head with wheel and kaboooom . I am extreamly lucky I was wearing a face Shield or my face would have looked the same as my arm . We still don't know yet if it was the silocon that exploded or the propellant , The explosion was large enough to do damage to the sun visors about 9 feet away. Wayne

I had a short beard .... Right hand side mostly gone now and there are some very very very short patches on the top of my head, with some nice blistering on my ears

Hello Wayne,
I hope you recover fast and that there no scares are left... A couple of years ago i was welding with electrodes and had the negative clamp on the bench, next to me (on the bench) was a can with anti-stick to spray on the piece that i was welding.... When i was done with the weld i touched the top of the can with the electrode, luky for me i still had the welding visor down because it was a big flame that came out my hare was burned away....

Bloody Hell Mate, your pretty lucky to come out of that one as well as you did.
That could of been a major accident, just asking was that one of those cheapy brand cans, Ive had a motorguard can split in the cupboard and cover everything with water displacer. The cans are really thin and seams like there glued together. Cheers to a speedy recovery.
