Is Arm-R-Seal a spontaneous combustion hazard?

I have one of each on hand now. Both 3/4' carbide tipped bandsaw blades.
Here are my first/open box and observations.

The Laguna resaw king arrived yesterday and it was what I was expecting. A carbide tipped band saw blade. At first I didn't think anything more of it. Then the Dark Stone arrived today and I had something to compare.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the Dark Stone box was the presence of 2-3 silicone packets. The Laguna blade did not have those.
Next I noticed that the Dark Stone has a type of grayish bluing applied to the blade. IDK if that's what it is, but that's what it seems like. The Laguna appears to just have oil on the blade.

I uncoiled the Dark Stone then I uncoiled the Laguna. The Laguna was noticeably lighter and more flexible. Not by like 50-100% more, but noticeable without expecting it.

I measured the teeth and the blade with a machinist caliper.
The Laguna's teeth are about 47/1000s wide and the blade body is about 27/1000s thick.
The Dark Stone teeth are about 62/1000s wide and the blade body is about 35/1000s thick.

The weld - I ran my thumb along the spine behind the weld on each. They are both are pretty smooth to the touch, but the Dark Stone is slightly more noticeable to the touch than on the Laguna.

That's all I have for now. It's going to be a fat minute before I set one up on my 14" Rikon bandsaw. When I do I'll try out both and post results.
I'm placing my bets that they will both have satisfactory results, but that the Laguna will have better results.

I'm thinking that tension differences will be a toss up.
It seems to me that the Laguna will need good tension to keep that thinner blade true, but then the Dark Stone will need more tension to overcome the extra thickness. We'll see. I'm far from claiming proficiency at this  stuff so lmk what you know/expect.

This piece is made from Canarywood, Padauk and Blackwood. I made this piece last year but wasn't hapy with how plain it turned out. So I made some changes, I even changed the name.  The finished size is 14" x 24" x 4" and finished with clear UV acrylic spray.

I posted on a reel of theirs on facebook telling everyone about Lichtenburg burning on if it is not used saftly it can kill people and to take all safely precautions when using it since we in the woodturning section know of people who died doing this.  He threated me and told me to "Don’t post your bullshit on my page"  So I really do not know if they are safe or not do buy at your risk

If you get the same hassle then spread the word to not use them.

I do not know if I need to dome this or not but I want you to understand the danger of this is all.

Vintage but working Stanley Circular Saw and Dunlop Bandsaw

Coordinate driveway pick up near Union & Carlton.

I got this from Norm Abram so it is not mine. He said build for the misses and get the items out of the shop and into the house. Believe it or not my wife takes great pride in showing different pieces I have made to people who happen to stop by. Build stuff she wants as well as what you want to build and all you will only have to say, I could really use whatever and she will find the money for it. My wife also takes great pride in my shop and likes showing it off.

Believe me, put her first and she will find the money.

Our property has a lot (I mean a LOT) of outdoor wiring/circuits. the folks who built the place has a real love for landscaping and outdoor lighting. Anyway, one of the circuits quit working earlier this year, it had an area light as well as several outlets on it...one that I used for the garden fence charger to keep coons out of the corn. In tracking it down i came across one outlet on the circuit that was hidden by some plants. The box was quite black on the outside so i took a look...the duplex in the pic is what i found. Now, this circuit is on a GFCI (indoors) so I was wondering why it didn't trip, turned out it was faulty. Replaced it, removed the burnt outlet and got everything back to functioning. I didn't replace that duplex, I just replaced the box and connected the wires putting a blank cover on it.
