Dryer Lint Papier-mâché Recipe Erin & firestarters

[Guest guest]

Whew! The thought of making these *firestarters* worries the heck out

of me. Wax is dangerously combustive and so is dryer lint. Just hope

everyone knew that and kept everything away from an open flame. I am

so very careful even with bee's wax( using a double broiler.)

However I have dipped wood matches in melted wax to make them water

proof for fire starting. But I was very careful melting the wax in a

double broiler. A safer method is to take a candle along with you

camping and shave off a few pieces to use as a fire starter.

Happy camping..
