   Cotton Balls Saturated with Petroleum Jelly - You need to
really work the petroleum jelly into the cotton with your fingers.
Store them in an empty film container or a ziplock back. An interesting
test is to light a plain cotton ball and a saturated cotton ball side
by side to see the difference. The plain cotton ball only burns for a
few seconds and then it just smolders. The cotton balls with petroleum
jelly hold a flame for several minutes.
