Read the warning label on the can. Why don't you try it, if you could still see to write post your results on here.
Many years ago, butane was used as the propellant in most aerosol cans - during my misspent youth, much fun was had making flame-throwers out of cans of hairspray. Subsequently, manufacturers replaced the propellant, with a chemical that unknown to them, damaged the ozone layer � (CFC�s), but did not combust.

I haven�t bothered to look at what they now commonly use as a propellant � but either we will all die because of a hole in the ozone layer � or some spotty youths will die as a result of playing with fire (I just got lucky).
They went back to butane in most cases.

This was a question was used in a quiz but it was a trick question, the question asked could you use your deoderant as a flame thrower, the answer was no as it was a ball type roll on, thanks for your answers anyway
lol I would kill the quizmaster if they did that on me.
