Mitch:

Read the last ** point?

Hi Kate

* I filled most of the shelf you cleared with Press Shop 'flammables'.
  Except the 5 gallon drum.

  Kristen and I plan to look more closely at it all soon.  

* This Press Shop stuff fills most of the shelf you cleared in the
  'Paint' cabinet.

* If/when storage outside of the APOffice is discussed:

  ** It be best for the press chemicals to be stored at room
     temperature and humidity.
     This is definitely true for the numbering machines, which are stored
     in 'flammable' solvents.

  ** Will some limited quantity be allowed constantly in the APOffice.

     Or will flammables only be allowed while they are in active use?

  ** The four darkrooms may already have some venting to the outside.
     Mitch might know about the LSC darkroom.

     The SAA kiln room also has some kind of venting to the outside.

     Which raises the question, if there in some space adjacent to the
     darkrooms/kiln room, that could be tied into those vents.
     Assuming the existing vents are adequate for 'flammables'
     venting.  Or there is enough space to run a separate vent pipe up
     inside them.
