"Fire Paste"

[Chubbs]

I tried it yesterday with a bar of grated cheap soap and a tin of lighter petrol. It did light straight away but was very easy to blow out.

nope, soap is right. wax burns, but the soap has glycerine in it that will aid in starting the fire to begin with. Just think about the classic potassium permangenate and glycerine fire lighting mixture


I've been meaning to play with some fire lighting mixtures myself, maybe this thread will be the catalyst for me to start burning stuff!
