Contamination can come from sealants and lubricants used during tire mounting and break down. Four words can prevent most chamber fires: inspect, monitor, maintain and chart. Inspect casings and envelopes, monitor and maintain your chamber, and chart the curing process.

Inspect envelopes and casings.

Inspect all envelopes. It is best to use inner/outer envelopes, as they may isolate and contain some vapors during the initial vacuum stage (necessary for inner/outer envelopes).
