got a tip about pernament matches ( a pretty logical one ): if you spill some fuel over the striker box make sure the fuel is fully removed.
i remember once i spilled some fuel on top of mine permanent match and just wipped it clean with an tissue. wenn i ignited the match the top of the box ignited with it <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> i also had a icident were the wick burned... but thats a nother story <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
