I have noticed that some of the ones in my collection (well dried in my garage) take a spark a lot easier than others.
The way I always use/show them use is to break one open to reveal a fresh surface and then either drop a spark onto it from a modern steel or use it on a piece of flint with my older steel.
Sometimes I get a spark to take first time, sometimes I need a blowtorch to get the thing to take.
Any comments?
