evaporating liters of acetone in a garage :eek:

I think some middle-aged people will immediately get a vivid flashback and Duck & Cover like Burt the Turtle taught them in the 1950s when you flip the light switch.

RedGreenVines warned about the risk but for redundency's sake I add my own with a little babble.

If flammable liquids vaporize they mix with the air they need for burning. If they reach a certain temperature (or meet static electricity or metal sparks) they will ignite and burn rapidly.
If there is not too much and not too little of the fumes present the burning will be so rapid as to make the fuel/air mix explode.

With acetone all bad things come together making it far more dangerous then even gasoline fumes.

1..it is very volatile, slightly heavier then air, and easily reaches high concentrations
2..it is a very reactive chemical (six active hydrogens in 10 atoms for my fellow nerds)
3..the temperature of ignition is very low
4..the percentages in air that are capable of explosion span an unusually wide range
5..the combustion speed accelerates very rapidly

These factors combined make acetone one of the most notorious fire hazards in chemical plants, while at first glance it seems quite akin to gasoline and even has 2/3 of gasoline's energy density.
Ask a good fireman and he'll tell you that acetone is evil :shocked:

Now regular amounts, some fl.oz, can easily be evaporated if you do not choose to distill in a closed system. But when the amounts runs into liters (and buildup of fumes escalates drastically because of scale-up of weight occupying volume over distance) the liters may add up but the risks will multiply.
