I have always been impressed with the Spark-lite tabs ease of ignition. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I have been somewhat less impressed with its burn time. Compared to Couglan's tinder it sucks. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I have always been impressed with the Couglan's burn time. For its size it has an excellent burn time. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I am (yes, you guessed it) less impressed with its ease of ignition. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Being the demanding git that I am, I want the best of both worlds. So I have given the matter some thorght. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I have a solution! : <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Dip one end of the Spark-Lite tab into molten candle wax. This gets you the best of both worlds. Ease of ignition with a decent burn time. Only down side, and it's a minor one, is that the tabs have to be stored in a plastic baggy or you get wax over everything.
Guess you cannot have everything. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
