Question

Which formulation will help with clothing for welders?

National Fireproofing, Inc

Community Answer

Any of them, except none of them are durable for wet washing. Once the material is washed, you need to reapply the fire retardant solution.

Question

I am going to use burlap on a ceiling and would like to make it fireproof. Will the spray method work?

National Fireproofing, Inc

Community Answer

Sure, but do not use boric acid since it will leave white crystal residue all over the fabric once the solution cools.

Question

Can I just buy a can of fire retardant to spray on?

Community Answer

Yes. Google fire retardant spray, and you should get a plethora of options. NYFS, or New York Fire Shield, is one that we use at our haunted house.

What should I use to make chair covers fireproof?

Community Answer

You choose, as they should all work. But choose the one that is better for the type of fabric your chair cover is made from.
