how to make waterproof matches
Light a candle and let it burn down until you have a good amount of liquid wax. Extinguish the candle. Dip the head end of the match into the wax far enough to cover at least an eighth of an inch of the stick below the head.Hold the match for a few seconds to allow the wax to harden slightly and then place the match on a table or counter so that the head is suspended off the edge of the surface. When the wax has cooled, but not completely hardened, pinch the end of the wax coating (towards the stick), forming a tight seal.
