RDog, you can email me at rlschaffer@gmail.com for matchcase info...there are some threads here explaining...do a search on Matchcase in the last 6 months in the campfire forum.

I have only ever used Bullseye shellac. I bought a pint can at a local home improvement store....enough for an eternity of matches. Shellac is alcohol based and dries very fast. I just did a single dip and then laid the matches out on a couple of bamboo skewers overnight to dry. It is far easier to do than wax, the matches take up much less space in the matchcase and is seems to make the matches nicely waterproof....good all around. I do not imagine that any brand of shellac would be much different.

I generally waterproof most of my matches even though I carry them in the cases....open the case on a rainy day or handle with wet hands and a bit of extra protection seems prudent.
