I also take advantage of free matchbooks whenever possible; I dip them in wax too and just treat it like a single, hot-burning fire starter for wet wood.
We never have cotton balls around the house so I usually dip dryer lint in vaseline, wrap it in newspaper and wax the whole packet. That way you can unwrap it later and the waxed paper is a nice water-resistant platform for your "candle." A cottonball-sized bit of greased dryer lint will burn for 15 min.
That Glad press and seal stuff, it's like heavy duty saran wrap, works really well to protect your lighter flint from water.
Anyone else have a bear of a time finding good ole Blue tip strike anywhere matches? We have a small stash squirreled away but I'm reluctant to use them since I never find them in stores.Statistics: Posted by Radf9760 — Tue Dec 01, 2015 11:03 am
