    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

        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
