Mike,
Once again I have no idea whether or not the burning foam really gives off
phosgene and if it does I have no idea what the level of phosgene it gives
off is. For all I know burning a patch a yard square might contaminate an
area large enough to encompass the area the person doing the burning might
be standing.
I do know that when I took some of the foam I stripped off the area behind
the fridge of The Blue Streak, laid it on the ground outside the workshop
and tried to ignite them. I couldn't get it to light. I reported this to the
GMCnet and was advised to try it with the foam vertical with the ignition
source at the bottom. I was assured that if I did it would light and burn
rapidly. I did not try it as the only vertical sections were still on the
walls inside! ;-)
To me the bottom line for me is that if someone were to be injured by
burning foam off a coach that I was scrapping I would feel responsible. If
the person that was injured felt that way too I could open myself to
litigation. Before I allowed them to burn it off I would be 110% sure that
burning it was not dangerous to life or limb.
Regards,
Rob M.

1. -- Yes, find out what the by-products (and concentrations) are before
lighting the foam.
2. -- There is a difference between the foam burning in an enclosed coach
and burning the foam off "disjointed" panels laying foam up, in open air.
3. -- Sad to see (or hear of) any coach being scrapped... But recycling is
good.
