Sec.29-349-138. Cleaning of magazine floor stains

Magazine floors stained with nitroglycerin shall be scrubbed well with a stiff broom, hard brush or mop, using an ample volume of a solution in the proportion of 1½ quarts of water, 3½ quarts of denatured alcohol, one quart of acetone and one pound of sodium sulfide (60% commercial). The liquid shall be used freely to decompose the nitroglycerin thoroughly. In the event the nitroglycerin is on any material which is impervious to nitroglycerin, this area should be swept thoroughly with dry sawdust and destroyed by burning. Nitroglycerin remover should be stored in closed container and kept in a dark place. Nitroglycerin remover more than 60 days old shall not be used.
