Please look at the flammability of the Isopropanol. We put our base bath in a Rubbermaid tote in a fire proof bin. Look for parts cleaner or rinse or dip tank safety containers.

All,
We frequently see base baths located outside of fume hoods. If they are covered and secure we haven't objected to this in the past.
What are your opinions regarding placement of base baths outside fume hoods, near sinks, and on the floor in 5-gallon buckets?
Thanks,
Chris
