Oh great. Why do I feel a scolding coming on?
I used the squinty-eyed, hold-your-breath, run-fast-as-hell technique.
The tent was very tight with no discernable fume escape. The barn was kept
locked to prevent children and animals from access. The ammonia was placed
in four plastic bowls with lids immediately adjacent. Bowl furthest from
the entrance was filled first, then the others as a retreat was made. The
opening then closed off. Dwell time was not 5 minutes, but 50 hours. After
fuming, the barn doors were opened wide, and the above technique employed to
throw wide the entrance of the tent and let the bulk of fumes dissipate.
Then after dissipation, again employing the above technique, the lids were
placed on the bowls.
