Yeah I've played with fire for years after being taught how to do it safely. Idk about the stickiness aspect of hand sanitizer but isopropyl alcohol is safe enough that I can use it to light my arm on fire, though a thin layer is always used. You don't want it to last more than a few seconds or it will risk a mild first degree burn

really? thats neat. wonder how itd turn out with ethanol tho lol ive seen it burn circles in carpet pretty quick

Carpet wants to be on fire, it's a bunch of spread fibers. Skin doesn't want to catch fire. I think ethanol is hotter or less evaporative, but not er visit bad

no i didnt say the carpet caught fire, just that circle patterns were burned into it..it was a super shitty rug likely plastic threads. im just thinking that hand sanitizer is viscous and is a super high percentage of ethanol, so im betting that it would fuck your skin up pretty good. would just be a matter of how much of you is covered in it lol
