EditSteps

  1. 1
    Take the pot of Vaseline and turn it upside down. Spray or squirt a small amount of lighter fluid onto the base of the pot.
  2. 2
    Making sure that you don't burn your hand, put the upside down pot on the palm of your left hand (if right handed) and put a lit lighter/match near it.
  3. 3
    Use it. Now you've got an almost free source of long lasting light. Reapply the fluid whenever needed.
