CARE OF PAINTS, OILS, AND PAINT-BRUSHES.
Paints, Turpentines, Oils, Lacquers, etc., are kept in a room separate from other stores, preferably a cellar. The floor should be covered with several inches of fine sand, which should be renewed occasionally. Sawdust should never be used for the floor.
Volatile Oils, such as kerosene or benzine, must never be kept stored in a room with other oils and paints, but in such place that the least possible danger will arise in case of fire.
