Ever wondered what happens if you put a can of WD40 in a woodburner?

Not something to try at home!


I was surprised at how long it took before the can exploded. I would
have expected the plastic valve near the nozzle to melt quicker than
that, and maybe to cause an impressive jet of flame for a while before
the whole can exploded.


Bloody hell, assuming it was a *full* can that must be more than a
hand-grenade's worth of energy inside a not very strong cast iron box.
