Not something that anyone should try, unless they've had training in stunt work or pyrotechnics. Absorbency is a tricky thing; a glove might seem like it won't absorb lighter fluid, when in reality it might just take a while to do it. This trick could easily lead to someone discovering 'the hard way' that the lighter fluid has partially dissolved their glove, giving them a hand that's basically covered in napalm.
