Is it okay to redip a flaming tool in Kerosene?

"Myth: it's okay to redip a hot or even flaming tool in Kerosene or lamp oil without igniting the bucket"

If you dip quickly and you haven't re-dipped too many times (thus heating up the lamp oil), you absolutely *CAN* do that. However, changes in temperature (from doing this), pressure, and humidity can radically change the chances that this will literally blow up in your face.
