I want a discussion for and against treating heavy fabrics like denim to be fire resistant vs buying the fire resistant fabrics. Would it be cheaper to cut up a pair of old jeans and soak them in a solution (there appears to be several) or buy the pre treated fabrics?
I came across a National Fire Protection Association formula- mixing borax, boric acid with water and soaking fabric in it. Seems legit. If im going to treat the fabric and use it right away i dont see it needing to be fire resistant forever and it might save some money!
Im an amateur trying to fight what i normally do by just F-ing around and finding out. im taking this hobby more seriously for safety reasons. I love being told im wrong and learning something!
