The flash point of the vapors is only around 100 degrees F.? That's pretty low when considering the temp of a heating unit.? The vapors themselves would just combust and disperse.? However, with MORE vapors in the surrounding area they could cause the liquid to ignite.? By the way, the flash point of the liquid is only a few degrees higher than the vapor.? So, for example, a client taking their hand in and out of the liquid could cause it to slosh out onto the unit and therefore ignite. In my opinion...I wouldn't use electric heating units or the warming mits.? Just having liquid around electrical is a doozie in itself.? Dipping the cotton in acetone and wrapping each individual finger in foil seems to be the safest option.? I might even go so far as to suggest dipping the foiled (prewrapped) fingers in Parraffin for a safe addition of heat.? This is how we all learn!? Unfortunate for the poor victim.?
