Default Re: I blew up my face...

Sadly, this is why I use matches mostly.

I had one literally rupture in my hand while testing it at the shop (very old Colibri, one of the good ones). The valve fell apart where the plastic fuel tank had become brittle, and the last little poof of remaining fuel escaped violently and flared all around my hand for a moment (ignited by my other hand that held a soft flame lighter to test the fuel flow). Pure luck that I didn't suffer more than a minor flash burn on the top side of my knuckles.
