Howard,
    Just two more cents to add.  Naphtha is indeed explosive.  Napalm is
jellied naphtha and if you check the contents of most octane enhancers,
you'll find it in there also.  On the scale of cold to hot, mineral spirits
are on the low end of the solvent scale, naphtha somewhere in the middle,
Lacquer thinner and Xylol on the upper end.
