But a lot of poeple use the microwave to do that in order to make it easier to mak pj cotton balls...?
Thats what I thought too, figured I would try it for the first time, maybe my micro just decided to die.Quote:

I checked that right off nothing on in or near the container, So I took a cup of water and stuck it in the micro minute later hot water, so I tried it with the PJ again same thing, sparks zap zip zot.Quote:

Just a note here --- you do not need to heat or liquify your petrolium jelly to make cotton ball/pj tinder.
I know that I was just experimenting.Quote:

If that doesn't work, try this; Smear a big glob in your left armpit, wave your right hand in the air, hop around your house twice....on your right foot...and chant "it will work", while you are doing all the above.:innocent:Quote:
