GoingGear.com - Homemade Fire Starting Goo

... So is gasoline.

While gasoline and burning styrofoam fumes are harmful, one doesn't have to stand directly over the fire while the goo is burning. Also, a relatively small amount can be used to start a fire, while camping for instance. Notice the small bit towards the end of the video that gets wrapped around the stick; it's no bigger than a piece of chewed-up chewing gum.

Also keep in mind that while gasoline fumes are harmful, most harm can be avoided simply by using gasoline in a well-ventilated area. If this goo is going to be used to make a campfire or a bonfire, then it's going to be used outdoors, and there's no better-ventilated place than outside. =)

wasn't my response to *sean F.* comment. His reply alluded to the fact that styrofoam itself was poisonous to breath. Not the actual making of the napalm paste.

Yes
About 1-2 weeks effectively
Yes
not really
yes, the water will slide off in most cases
no, unless it sits for about 1-2 hours with direct contact with the flame.

I appreciate your help!

someone help this guy, I´d like the answers too!! (please)

They previous guy gave some great answers, but I thought I'd expand on the life of it a bit. If you keep it in a watertight container that can handle petroleum products (like styrofoam melted in gasoline), it can last a really long time. I had some in a thick walled glass test tube with a rubber stopper that I forgot about for a couple years and it was fine when I found it. If you just put it in a cheap plastic container, then yeah, it will not last very long, so you just have to make it around when you need it.

alright cool! thanks for your help!
