How To Make Matches WaterproofIf you already have match sticks and prefer to make your own, you can make them waterproof. This might not be as effective as purchasing windproof and waterproof matches. All you have to do is dip the end of the matches in clear fingernail polish and set them on the edge of a table to dry. Place something under them to catch the dripping polish. |
