Painting I / Oil, Fat Media and the Rule of Fat Over Lean
Practice question · Select all that apply

Which of these are sound studio practice with solvents and pigments?

Hints
  1. Three name a route of exposure and close it; one substitutes a slogan for a route.
  2. Ask how the hazardous material actually gets into a person.
Show the answer
  • A. Ventilate the space and keep solvent containers closed when not in use
  • B. Keep oil-soaked rags in a closed metal container, because they can self-heat
  • C. Never sand or spray dried paint films without respiratory protection
Why

The fourth is not a rule at all. What matters is the route: inhalation of dust or vapour, ingestion from hands, absorption through skin. Naming the route tells you the precaution, which is why sanding a dried cadmium film is dangerous while brushing it out of a tube is not.
