PC2K,
Sorry,I meant potassium permangate crystals. The mistakes you make when its late hey? <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Indeed, like the Swedish firesteel, I find I can create a shower of sparks with the standard issue flint and steel.

No sparklite can be found this isde of the pond <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The bic lighter is good point but I havent got the space even if I would take out the matches. Once the tin is packed she becomes a bit of a beast. Must put my foot on the lid to tape it down <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
