Glenn Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 From the email: -------------- For some reason I thought of you blacksmiths when I came across this recipe. Home Brew Fire Retardent Borax 6 parts or 3 pounds Boric acid 5 parts or 2.5 pounds Water 100 parts or 6 gallons This solution is used for heavy fabric. Immerse fabric, hand wring, allow to dry between applications (2 or 3 applications total). Use caution if ironing to avoid discolorantion. Also useful for natural vegetation displays, i.e.:grain stalks, thatching etc. Thanks to the City of Philomath, Oregon, volunteer fire department for this recipe. Take care, Maria Christina de Cordoba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
