Acetone as a fuel?
Hello dear experts,
I'm currently having a little ritual where I want to burn some paper, but it just won't burn… I don't have any high-proof alcohol, only acetone. Can I use that as fuel, or will I just burn the whole place down?

Acetone burns excellently, it is even more flammable and much more volatile than ethanol. boiling point 56° C. over 78° C.
Why use an additional fuel? Paper should also burn like this…
What kind of paper do you use?
Normal printer paper, but I really have to light it up 10x and it just glows in front of you…
Then it's not a normal paper, it's coated. Just buy yourself a simple notebook and do it. Then you don't heat the beautiful printer paper.
