Yes but some are more flammable than others. Gasoline has a flash point of -40°F. Mineral spirits, on the other hand, has a flash point of from 70°F to 130°F, depending on formulation. Odorless mineral spirits have a flashpoint of around 100°F. It will burn but it takes a lot more to get it to burn. Mineral spirits works just as well without the whole “burning down the house” thing.
