GoingGear.com - Homemade Fire Starting Goo [13+]

... 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!
