I have been using shellac for the past year or so with far better results compared to wax. The amber sticks are Penleys dipped in Bullseye shellac.
I have tossed shellac coated matches into a bucket of water and lit them right up after several minutes. It seems wax tends to degrade the matchhead over time.
