Hello, I was researching what to do about fungus gnats because I don't want them to spread in my house. I read an article that says it helps to stick matches upside down into the soil of infested houseplants (about two in a 10 cm diameter pot). The sulfur released when watering is supposed to…
In America, they are everywhere, and even in very old films you can see people lighting their matches on the soles of their shoes or on the wall. Why hasn't this ever caught on here? It's super practical…?! Or is it perhaps prohibited due to some safety regulations?
Hello, I really love scented candles, but I've only been using them for a short time. I was allowed to use my mother's matches. They're slowly running out, though. And before I head to Rewe for nothing, I wanted to know if they even have them there.
Is it dangerous if the friction surface of a matchbox is burning and you inhale the smoke? I was just about to light the grill, and the matchbox is in the grill, and I inhaled smoke from the friction surface. Is that bad, because it's completely different from normal smoke; it smells really weird…
I once heard that the powder on the ignition strip in the matchbox is phosphorus and that the substance burns at extreme heat, but does the powder on the tips of the matches burn just as hot?
I've now constructed that. But are there similar matches that can be used double-sided? Or ones that are blue on top and bottom like this one?
What's the name of that thing on the matchstick? The brown thing where you light the match. And what is that, exactly? What kind of substance? Polonium?
Today I found this matchbox. How old are they, and can you still buy them? They strike reliably.
Hi, I wanted to ask if you can use matches instead of gunpowder for firecrackers.
What could the exact name be and where can I get it?
