I have for many (won't tell you how many :-) used old T-shirts, cut into 3 to 4 inch squares and dipped into hot paraffin. Not as good as a tinder, but a GREAT fire starter. Works when wet, never dries out (I have some that I have used after 30 years) and can't be broken. Starts well with a match, or a little Tinder Quick or a pile of shavings when using a metal match.

The best,

Jerry
