Looking for metal 1 gallon cans I normally bought, Menards switched to plastic. No problem there. I commented about how I needed the metal can for solvent materials. The sales rep tol me I should not be putting solvent into a can in the first place. I have 17 years in the industrial finishing business and can tell you that people put solvent materials in 1 gallon cans. The new plastic cans cannot be grounded properly creating a fire hazard IAW NFPA33. Since Menards sells flammable solvents AND plastic cans, they set their customers up for possible injury and or destruction of property by not understanding correct safety procedures. I hope they do not kill or severely injure someone.
