Exploding Stove Polish was apparently a problem. Gotta wonder what chemical it was causing the problem.

The problem might be less with the chemicals in the polish per se and more with the mechanical processes surrounding its manufacture and use. Many otherwise safe substances become explosive when aerosolized.
