Kerosene has a lower burn temperature than white gas, but you'll end up smelling pretty bad. No matter what fuel you use, you'll lose your body hair. I'd stick with white gas if it worked fine.

Nope, Kero is just as bad. Try Denatuerd Alcohol.

I do not really mind the burning off of body hair as long as it does not burn me when it goes.

The other problem is that wicks would not work on the ball... I really do not want it leaving trails of white gas on me, although it would look wonderful for body rolls it might hurt a bit.

1) Shave!
2) White gas will pretty much always leave flame trails behind on contact, its not a good fuel for contact juggling. Go with lamp oil or lighter fluid.

Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

To edit what I said, I have been using lighter fluid, not white gas. I used white gas last night and that basically took care of ICoN's number 1.

I like lighter fluid better, smaller flame and lasts longer. because of the very small amount of gas absorbed into the ball, we are not really having flame trails. A mix of the two seemed to work well because a small amount of white gas helped with lighting the ball. (the lighter fluid takes some time to fully cover the ball in flame.)
