Abstract
A match splint is formed from a rigid core member, which can be substantially non-porous, e.g. of glass, metal or plastic, or porous, e.g. of wood or wood substitute, with an absorbent layer of finely divided particles or fibres adhering to the core adjacent the head of the match, the absorbent layer acting as the reservoir to hold the fuel, e.g. paraffin wax, as an impregnant therein.
