Over this lovely weekend, a friend called and asked if we had any silicone based lubricant. We said, "of course! Why?" She said that she was doing a test, and asked if we'd hold a match up to a few drops and see if it was flammable.

Of course we had to try this...and, yes, silicone based lubricant is extremely flammable.

Here's a video:

Crap. And here I just bought a bottle of silicon-based lubricant two days ago. German stuff, at that.

There goes my hope of wearing shiny latex whilst juggling malatov cocktails. ;)

That does give me pause though... thanks for the warning!

Ha! I'd love to that!

The concern is definitely when doing fire play or wax play.
