Bad news there: any way that I can think of to make this material would put it in your hands, and I think it runs temperature checks on inventory stuff anyway.

Maybe we can abuse this...

1)Wear wooden gauntlets (Read: Inflict pain on a poor random elf)
2)Produce sunmetal.
3)Strangle/slap/punch enemies with !!fire!!.
4)Dispose of gloves... quickly.

Well you could just dispose of the arrows... Into an elf's face.

Legendary striker + Wooden gauntlets + Sunmetal. I think we've created a falcon punch. You'd only get one hit (unless you want to melt), although you could throw the gauntlets afterward.

You punch the Elf in the upper body with your !!larch gauntlet!!, shattering the right rib and shattering the left rib and tearing apart the heart and shattering the middle spine!
The Elf is melting! x100
Elf has bled to death.

If I remember correctly there was a way to make it so that you could fire something from inside (a set temp) to the outside where it would catch fire. This won't help an adventure much though I guess. You'd have to fight some pretty specific battles to make it work and you'd have to dispose of the objects everytime you went outside anyway.

FALCON PUNCH!
Actually, if you did it right, you could burn all the fat off your hands, then punch everyone to fiery death.

[Mormota]

In the Genesis mod you have arrows which only catch fire after one turn. It might be worth asking Deon/TomiTapio.

I tried some more stuff with sunmetal, and it turns out that sunmetal backpacks do not ignite anything placed in them.  I'm still unsure as to whether the inverse is true, but it seems DF doesn't run temperature checks on things not exposed to air/water/magma.

Well...there was that one time...

In theory if you wore nethercap gauntlets you could avoid the sunmetal igniting you/your gauntlets, which could be eternally abused with, say, a sunmetal sword.

I've seen a thread like this before.
Thy were maing doom metals.
Explodium would set on fire at the homotherm, so when it embedded in someone, FIRE!
Nethercap gauntlets DID prevent holding from burning.
Also, they made a metal that turns into poison gas at homotherm and one that turns into fire AND gas.

I did actually see that, and I tried it out, but I wasn't thinking of it when I made sunmetal.  In many ways, doomium, explodium, and virium are better than sunmetal, but I find a metal that is as dangerous to the user as it is to the enemy to be hilarious.
