I tie ( twist ) wicking around the top to use as a dipping holder and then it serves as a wick to light. They sell good around here.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 I can't believe this is actually coming from ME! I don't usually have any ideas for the home, but this one I learned from my mother. What to do with dryer Lint. Make firestarters (which is what I'm doing right now, which is why I thought of it!) You know all that lint that you get from your dryer? Instead of throwing it out, Save it. Collect card board egg cartons while you are at it. Then, fill the egg carton hole with your dryer lint. Pour melted parafin or other wax over the whole shebang and Bob's your Uncle (not my uncle, don't have an Uncle Bob. Got an Uncle Mike and an Uncle Larry, Even got the Crazy (literally) Uncle Jerry, but No Uncle Bob) instant firestarters that are easy to break into sections. One is all you need to start a fire. Works great! Cheers! Kathleen Petrides SmeLLeNNiuM: 101 Aromatic Stories http://www.101aromas.com Also http://www.snuggleumpkins.com for Organic Wheat berry Hot pads!
