Did you polish the base with chocolate, or how did you get that so shiny?

Hi Bernie

I have heard of someone polish with chocolate but everytime I get a piece I just can't bring myself to waste it and end up eating it:ashamed: Can't help myself.

I have tried different things to polish up with and a few I might try too, these are, Toothpaste, Mud, Fine silt, Duraglit or Brasso wadding (this makes good tinder too) salt is too scratchy, I usually start with coarser and then just end up rubbing hard for quite a while with kitchen roll and then my sunglasses cloth. I am still experimenting really.

The can is so low performance that you need to do your best and keep finger marks off it to give you the best chance.
In an emergency you could also use it to signal with.

Are you going to have a go Bernie and post a vid? hope so mate the more the merrier

You don't have to make the stove just polish up a can and have a go.
