Years ago there was a short video showing these nails catching on fire from a Bunsen burner and when the person flicked her hand try to put out the flame, burning plastic drops flew into the air. It would be big help if someone could resurrect that old video.
Speaking of videos, people on the CHAS forum discussed the use of dyed starch powders deflagrating on ignition and I'm seeing lots of commercials shooting with these dye powders flying in the air onto and around models. If someone wants to save a life, setting up a video in which these powders are deliberately ignited in air would do just that. It's only a matter of time before someone is injured by these powders.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Fancy nails in the lab
Hello everyone,
We have seen that some students and teachers use quite long fancy nails while working in the lab. This topic was the object of a discussion in UNISON (University of Sonora). The arguments included the respect of the person to use that type of nails. However, it was also commented that it is a risk for those who use those fantasy nails and also for those who are working around in the lab.
What is your opinion about it? Have you implemented any policy in this regard?
Best regards,
Rossy
