Quick Answer
Avoid using tarred bankline near open flames, sparks, or high-heat areas as the tar can ignite and spread quickly. This is a significant fire hazard and should be avoided at all costs.
Inflammable Environments
When working with tarred bankline, it’s essential to be aware of its potential to ignite in the presence of open flames, sparks, or high heat. Avoid using it near fire pits, BBQs, or other open flames. Similarly, avoid using it in areas with electrical sparks, such as near welding equipment or power tools.
Storage and Handling
To minimize the risk of fire, store tarred bankline in a cool, dry area away from any potential ignition sources. Keep it in a sealed container or bag to prevent it from drying out or becoming brittle. When handling tarred bankline, wear protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin contact and staining. Avoid touching your face or eyes after handling the bankline.
Alternatives and Precautions
If you must use tarred bankline, consider using a water-based alternative, such as polyethylene or polypropylene cordage. These materials are more resistant to fire and easier to handle. If you do choose to use tarred bankline, take extra precautions to ensure it’s properly secured and won’t come into contact with any potential ignition sources. This may involve using additional safety equipment, such as fire-resistant blankets or screens.
