      Igniter from Book Matches                     by the Jolly Roger 

          This  is  a  hot  igniter made from paper book matches for use 
      with molotov cocktail and other incendiaries. 

      Material Required: 
      ----------------- 

      Paper book matches 
      Adhesive or friction tape 

      Procedure: 
      --------- 

      1) Remove the staple(s) from match book and seperate matches  from 
      cover. 

      2) Fold and tape one row of matches (fold in thirds) 

      3) Shape the cover into a tube with striking surface on the inside 
      and  tape.  Make sure the folder cover will fit tightly around the 
      taped match heads. Leave cover open at opposite end for  insertion 
      of the matches. 

      4)  Push the taped matches into the tube until the bottom ends are 
      exposed about 3/4 in. (2 cm) 

      5) Flatten and fold the open end of the tube so that it laps  over 
      about 1 in. (2-1/2 cm); tape in place. 

      Use with a Molotov Cocktail: 
      --------------------------- 

      1)  Tape  the  "match  end  tab" of the igniter to the neck of the 
      molotov cocktail. 

      2) Grasp the "cover and  tab"  and  pull  sharply  or  quickly  to 
      ignite. 

      General Use: 
      ----------- 

      The  book  match igniter can be used by itself to ignite flammable 
      liquids, fuse cords, and similar items requiring hot ignition. 

      CAUTION: Store matches and  completed  igniters  in  moistureproof 
      containers  such  as  rubber  or plastic bags until ready for use. 
      Damp or wet paper book matches will not ignite.
