WD-40 is highly flammable!
Flammable, but not "highly"

Go read the label, you know the one that has the word DANGER on the
front in large type, and the word flammable right next to it?

The MSDS lists it as level 4 (severe fire hazard)

The label says "flammable" not "highly flammable", right?

Actually I have a can right here. It's not "highly" flammable.

It's EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE (all in caps)

As if it wasn't flammable enough, the propellent is propane.

Here's the more detailed warning on the back of the can:

Extremely Flammable. Keep Spray Away from: Heat, Sparks, Open Flame,
heated surfaces, and any other sources of ignition.

Disconnect electrical tools and appliances before spraying. Keep can
away from electrical source or battery terminals.

My can of WD-40 says "Combustible' on the front and Do not use near
heat, fire or flames on the back. Of course, my can doesn't contain
any propellent either. So I'm guessing your EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE is due
to the propellent.

Save yourself some money - Buy WD-40 in the gallon can (about $12):

and buy a couple of these spray bottles ($3.29):

Or any spray bottle that can be used with petroleum products. I have
three of the ones pictured above and I just refill them as needed.

$20 spent on bulk WD-40 and a couple spray bottles will last you a lot
longer than $20 spent on WD-40 in the standard spray cans.
