Hey for that matter, take an aluminum pie pan and fill it half way
with acetone.  throw in a lit match and see if there's any aluminum
left when the burning stops...uh...if you have any eyes left
afterward.  Acetone has a flash point of like 65 degrees F. It does
evaporate very quickly, but not as fast as it burns.  It is a great
solvent for fiberglass work.
