RE: [bolger] Steam bending
Along with the previous advice on rinsing, fill the can to it's max capacity
on the first boil to eliminate any space in the can for fumes to collect.
The tiny residue left over after the rinse would not be concentrated enough
to ignite as long is it couldn't collect in one place.
Of course a well ventilate area is a grand idea as well on the first boil.

Sure... Fill it up about half way with water, squirt in some dish soap, cap
it, and shake it up well. Then take the cap off, and continue filling water
into it until the water runs clear. Empty all of the water out, refill to
rinse 2x or 3x, and then go to town.

Subject: [bolger] Steam bending
I am at the point in constructing my "Camp Skiff" that I have to do some
steam bending of what for want of a better phrase I'll call toe rails.
My question relates to the use of an old metal gas can as a steam generator.
Now I know that the auto radiator men routinely fix automobile gas tanks. I
don't know what they do to prevent the whole shebang from exploding. I
figure I can follow their example to neutralize the gasoline fumes which
remain in the old gas can. Does anyone out there have first hand experience
with this situation.
