spray deoderant on paper

Bit of a random one but my friend and I were having a bit of an arguament earlier about how flammable deoderant was. I said that if it was sprayed on paper for a few seconds and left for about 20 hours at room temp it would still be extremeley flammable, my friend seems to think otherwise.

who would be correct?

bit random like a said

Why not try it?
The propellant in most (if not all) aerosol spray deodorants is propane or butane, both highly flammable gases, but ones which will disperse very quickly. What is left behind on the paper would be such a small amount that I doubt it would make much difference to the flammability of the paper - which is already pretty flammable.
If you are talking about the type of spray where you press the top down to eject the deodorant, they will generally have an alcohol carrier, also inflammable, which will again evaporate in 20 seconds, never mind 20 hours.
