Look out for the polyester shirts as well

Get them too close to a heat source and they will melt onto your skin

I’ve seen a refrigeration plumber swing his oxy across a shirt and it went up like sugar in a fire

My polyester shirt melted from the seat belt rubbing against it as the truck bounced across these bitumen covered motocross tracks the ****** politicians call roads.
