I use mine to make fire starters for camping. Take a cardboard egg crate. Stuff it with salvages. Melt wax. Pour the wax into the egg compartment, leaving a little string of salvage sticking out. Cut the crate into 12 starters. When you go to start your campfire, put one under the kindling and light her up. Works great! Burns long enough to get the logs started. (You can use dryer lint also)
