Hi all, many thanx for all the concerns, if its dry I do it outside. If its wet then I do it in the garage, thats below the living area and I use NO electrical devices or flames of any types.

In my previous job I worked on fuel tankers and trailers as well as fire engines, so I know all the risks etc.............regards wayne davidson Invers NZ.............

PS. If I ever get it wrong one day, then somehow you will get to find out...............
