Welp, I fucked up pretty badly.
    #19197924 - 11/27/13 07:15 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I was going to prepare an LC syringe. I had my still air box ready, the LC inside of it, everything just as I had done before. Latex gloves on, I covered them with isopropyl alcohol, 91%, and I go to flame sterilize the syringe, as I have done a ton of times before. But this time, as I light the lighter, my glove bursts into flame, and the other follows immediately afterward. I remain relatively calm, but immediately I throw by gloves onto the ground and stomp them out. One fuck up can teach someone a lesson of a lifetime, and I will be extremely more careful from now on. I hope some of you new cultivators can learn from my mistake, I most certainly have, as I have a second degree burn on the tip of my finger and almost burnt my house down. I fucked up really bad but I will do my best to avoid making this mistake again at all costs. Be careful, my friends, and happy shrooming!

glad your safe.

dont feel so bad.
me and the maid blew out a glove box in a fireball back in the 80's

we now use bleach wipes ,
and torches, with no flammables in the work area at all.

thank you for your honesty on this.
we can all learn from it.
safety is paramount.
all the luv.:heart:

fire extinguishers are cheap these days.
we should all have them.

I use iso to cleanse my hands at innoc but allow to evap off my hands before lighting a lighter.. its that simple really.. i wipe the needle with an alcohol wipe before flame sterilizing but that shouldnt be enough to set yourself on fire.. and wiping the needle with iso is unneccasary from what i hear..just flame sterilizing will kill any bacteria/spores, and the first drop of spore liquid going thru the needle will cool it enough..

Use 70%....it's better than 90% at sanitizing things.

nota has a point, 70 is better than 90,
and is a tiny bit safer.

Well isn't 91% more flammable which would mean more heat being transferred to the scalpel? The flame sterilizes not the alcohol

I bought a fire extinguisher before I bought the stuff I need to make my alc lamp. I always keep it in arms reach when working.

We do not flame sterilize our hands...or the latex gloves.......or anything else that is not a needle/scalpel/loop/etc......

70% has a greater water content, which helps penetrate cell walls more efficiently.

This can be googled.

Yeah, that was my mistake, I didn't let it evaporate fully, I was in a rush and anxious to get to work. The moral of the story is to take your time and be slow and patient.

Thanks, I will use 70% from now on then. I would like to look into it a bit more though, but I will definitely take this into consideration.

The combined capacity of my bladder and prostate is so enormous I don't need one.  But the rest of you should ALL get a fire extinguishers.  Even me just in case my entire apartment complex is on fire.

Don't worry... I once vacuumed the gasoline tank of my scooter

my vacuum cleaner blew up, burst to flames and it now has a nice large hole in it
never found the missing pieces from it

don't try at home :wink:

btw.. it worked... got all the sand/rust out of the tank almost
just not a good way

it sounds really stupid ;-P , but I had attached some hosing to it so as to not suck up any gasoline, and made vacuum etc.
unfortunately it is the gasses that are combustible not so much the liquid
and a vac cleaner is a spark generator :wink:

OP get a torch. Lighters are slow and bring your alcohol soaked gloves too close to the flame. A torch will get your tools red hot in seconds and you don't risk a stay in the burn ward.
