Good advice, Leigh. I do the same if I use wax-coated kitchen matches in one of the orange water-resistant plastic match containers (the ones with the O-ring): I cut out a circle of striker surface to size and glue it to the inside of the lid. Works perfect. I clip the matches in half and fit twice as many inside. The only drawback is you have to make sure and get the wax off the match tip (just the very tip) real good before using it on the striker surface to keep that from wearing out too soon. I like to wax coat for the longer burn time, not so much for the waterproofing, but that does help.
