Things You'll Need
Votive
Matchbook
With candle wax, you can make your match light longer.
Whether you're lighting a cigar or a barbecue grill, sometimes matches just don't last long enough to do the job. However, a way exists to keep that match lit as long as you need, and it will only take you a second to make it work.
Step 1
Light the wick that's inside of the votive, and let it burn until a fair amount of candle wax liquifies at the bottom.

Step 2
Remove two matches from the matchbook.
Step 3
Blow out the candle, and dip the tip of the first match into the wax.
Step 4
Relight the candle with the second match.
Step 5
Place the first, wax-dipped match tip into the candle flame. The wax-dipped match will hold its light much longer than would a normal match.
