WD40 isn't explosive as an applied coating...heck it won't even explode if you shoot the spray through the flame of a lighter as I have done... It'll just burn energetically and give you a nice flame thrower for toasting jumping spiders.

Wet WD40 isnt that easy to light either. Many years ago I was trying to fix a 30s fan that I eventually found had a bad contact brush and it was arcing like crazy but not easy to keep enough WD40 on the rotor to sustain burn for more than a couple seconds.
