Title: How NOT to test OAV kit ...
Post by: little john on March 01, 2016, 07:46:15 AM

This guy really should have done his homework before making a video of how to make a vapouriser. Not only is he wrong about OAV not being used in England (I, for example, have never used anything else), but to vapourise INSIDE a workshop is just plain barmy.
He now has a thin layer of OA dust coating more-or-less everything inside his workshop and, unlike a beehive where the high humidity will eventually 'flush' the OA dust out of the boxes, he will be disturbing (and thus risk breathing-in) OA dust for some time to come.  Very foolish.

ALWAYS vapourise OA outside. Be safe.

I hope he moved the dog (you can see him moving around in the background) out of the workroom before he lit that thing off.

He will probably have holes in that SBB in a day or so.

After I played it through, a bunch of other videos came up.  One guy used what looked  like a Buck Rogers ray gun.  Another had what looked like an industrial smoke generator.  In both, the guys speaking foreign languages generated huge clouds of smoke-like stuff that blew back all over them.  If it was OA, they would be dead for sure, buut they just continued talking as they demonstrated application to bee hives.  No respirators, no coughing -- nothing.  Very strange and frightening what these could inspire somebody to do.
