These safety folks must break out in hives when they walk into Home depot.

racks and racks of that foam, nothing more than the same sprinklers as 
your shop has.  The same thing with the aisles of spray cans. Not fire 
cabinets around them....

But come into my work space and if I have a sheet of foam or a can of 
paint ready at hand, suddenly I'm going to kill the entire building?

Gimme a break...
