Default Storage of Flammables

I was looking around the shop (AKA basement) and the garage the other day and started adding up all of the flammable liquids I have. Easily 10 gallons of lacquer thinner, naptha, MEK, Acetone, reducer, paint, Polytone, Polybrush, etc. Add that to a few fireworks and some ammunition, and a wayward spark would be a real problem.

Presumably a flammables storage cabinet is in my future unless someone has a better idea.

Any suggestions for features to look for and/or retailers who offer discounted pricing?

Default Try McMaster or Uline

I wouldn't expect much for discounts though.

Check out a Job Box or other metal tool cabinet. Check HD or Lowes. Even better, check out craigslist for a used one.

If will not control fumes, but at least would keep things contained. Good for ammo storage too.

Unless you are gonna take on a fabric project in the future, I'll buy the polybrush from ya if it is a significant amount, like 1 gallon +.
