The wet oil oxidizes in an exothermic reaction. Dunno if that's the same for Truoil but I used to have be very careful with the clothes I used to treat my gun stocks. Yes - that is correct. Like a lot of finishes, the rags need to be laid out to fully dry in a well ventilated area to avoid the possibility of spontaneous combustion.

Yes Lownote, I’ve read the same alert about oils. I usually leave my oily Tru oil rag on the garage concrete floor to dry out before chucking.

Just let them dry first - doesn't take long. Main thing is not to scrunch them up, trapping concentrated flammable gasses while they sre still wet.
