Last night, I had to use a couple of wooden matches from the supplies. I went to light one match and it snapped in half. Tried another, same thing. Long story short, all the wooden matches I tried, be it factory waterproof or regular strike anywheres are extremely dried out and brittle...although they all light.

These matches were 9-10 years old and so I bought new matches today to replace them with.

Any suggestions on what to do with 500 - 600 old brittle matches?
