I made them pretty much the same way for the Pocket Predator contests on SSF a few years ago. The best way I found was to wet the box striker with acetone to soften the adhesive, then scrape it off into the mortar and mix 50/50 with cap powder while still wet with acetone. The acetone stops it sparking as well as allowing the striker glue to remain as a binder to stick the stuff to your matches.

Hey Kevin. Fellow Maineiac here. Western mountains. When i was a boy, learning from my father how to truly waterproof matches for long term storage. We "boiled" the entire match in wax. Then picked them out one by one. Hanging them to drip from clothes pins hanging from a wire. The idea is to let the match heat to the same temperature as the wax so that the excess wax will drip off the tip. Leaving a thin tuff wax coating. As opposed to simply dipping which leaves a thick coating which is prone to chipping and flaking that makes your match difficult to light and a waterproofing layer that is sketchy at best. Remember, youre not making a candle. Give it a try bub, i think you will like it.

I love strike anywhere matches! And they are getting really hard to find. I have experimented a lot with them. Mostly Diamond brand (greenlight) And UCO. I have learned that friction is the key, not the surface. You can easily light one on a glass window, cardboard, and many other very smooth surfaces. Great video, enjoy watching all of them!

I remember making grenades out of bluetip matches. By breaking off the tip and wrapping them in aluminum foil. But not the blue tip that arr for sale with that name. The blue tip that you used to be able to buy had a dark blue flame holder and the tip was light blue and you could light it on your teeth or zipper. And they were twice the size of these break every time you strike them matches of today.
