All that polystyrene left over from Xmas presents etc

1. 1 x mayo bottle
2. 500 ml petrol
3. Some tearing and dunking

Very soon you have FIRE SNOT :shifty:

Gets and keeps fire going quickly

Make it extra thick

Small bottle in camping kit is very handy

And yes I know the other name :shifty:

This is more Eco-friendly than the poly lying in landfills

Thanks; didn't know that.

very similar to something that was used in warfare in vietnam if I'm not mistaken...

Never made the stuff myself, although would have been very handy for lighting the club bonfire in November!

Vietnam ............yep it is... :shifty:

a lollipop sized dollop will burn about 3 minutes.... really a great help with wet wood!

I bet it sticks like $hit as well niiiice, in said mayo jar with small bursting charge in the centre

Sugar is good for boosting slow fires, too.
Don't matter if it is brown or white ( Michael Jackson?) Whoo! Hoo!

Vaseline is good when mixed with a bit of petrol - same source as the mayo no doubt, and I do beleive adding sugar as well makes it really burn.

Just make sure it is a GLASS bottle. Some plastic bottle will dissolve with the petrol.

hand sanitiser one with alcahol 2 bottles for a pound in poundland very good for starting fires as well as the obvious

Salut ,
You can also soak empty egg boxes with used cooking oil. Perfect for open air fires.
It's very safe, free and it is "recycling" - Do I get a EEC grant ?
