He is sort of handy to have around, isn't he? My guess is his wife hangs on to him for stuff just like this. That and the fact she never has to worry about bugs in the house.

I have a recipe for a homemade fire starter paste that I will share to anyone who wishes to PM me requesting it.
Keep in mind the problem may be extremely complicated, though the "Fix" is often simple...

I wouldn't think the wax would adhere to the wood then. I might be wrong but it seems like the wax would solidify but not attach to the wood. I could be wrong. Would certainly be worth a try.

One way to find out..... I would think that the lamp oil might cause it to burn faster, but I've been wrong about a lot of things I thought about in the past.
Nice one. Very informative
Oi loike making fings I does
Very cool!
I grease or Vaseline a old cake pan from Salvation Army store, fill with pine chips I have left over from block of animal bedding. Melt candle stubs everyone saves for me. Pour it over, cool,dump out n break into pieces.
Lights big pieces of wood in the wood stove.
I posted a similar "how to" on the wax and egg cartons at some point after the one that Crash did...
His was before my time.
I make mine the same way with the improvement, now, of a cotton ball with a little PJ stuck in the melted wax.
Fluff this up and it will catch a spark for a ferro rod.
Dryer lime at out house smell like burning dog hair........I don use it.
Sawdust from the fatwood/lighter pine is what I use.
The dipped in wax , rolled newspaper is another version I make a and use...Idea was from an Out Door Life Magazine from years ago.

The Wisconsin State Fire Marshal classifies those as "Incendiary Device, Hunter Type 63". Yeah, they know him pretty well.
