Made some firelighters earlier in the week, quick job to melt some wax over a old alcohol stove...

Spent the last few days chasing an intermittent electrical fault on the old jalopys indicators.

Narrowed it down to the relay (i hope 🤞🏻) which i will swap out tomorrow. It's gotten too dark here now.

Recently found out old jeans make amazing fuel for the fire. They are already heavy denim but because they last a long time and are generally washed less I think they pickup and retain more oils from the body so put out way more BTUs than you would expect.

I should really do something like this… I have a bucket full of old candles…

You could also make some great water proofer for cotton based fabric by mixing some melted wax in with mineral oil 😉👍🏻

Wax alone does well enough provided it is hot enough to get in the material.
