Tried my first attempt at black match, Mixed up 20g BP with spray starch to form a thick ketchup solution. Soaked cotton string in solution and then pulled string through a simular sized hole to remove excess. This dryed a couple of hours later. Tested burns with a spray of tiny sparks but fizzles out re light and continues again, having looked at the string the center is till white should i make up a more wetter solution and let it soak longer, so the mix penetrates to string better or am i just having too thin a layer/coating on the string when pulling through the hole ?
