I've wondered about using dust bunnies as tinder. But, since most of mine are composed of dog and cat hair, maybe not.

Felt is either wool or polyester (plastic). What about mixing melted parafin with fine sawdust and quickly mashing it flat between two pieces of scrap Formica-type laminate until it cools? Just an idle thought.

If anyone wants to try the dust bunnies, just ask -- I've got plenty <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />, and they shouldn't cost much to ship. (If they do work, I'm living in a powderkeg...)
