Ok... so I place the cotton buds into the tin (travel sweet tin, the same as boot polish tins) poke a small hole with the tip of my knife in the top of it then put it on the fire and it starts to smoke. Then the cotton ignites, it shouldn't do that right? So I just leave it till the smoke and flames stop. I take it out, let it cool, then open the tin and put sparks on them. I put them back in the tin (still glowing) that had a small air hole in and after a few minutes I checked on it and they were no longer smoldering, and help no sparks at all. Why is this? I would appreciate the help, this is a good method of keeping embers glowing.
