I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

    Mixing Vaseline with cotton and rolling it into small balls makes for surprisingly effective firestarter. Catches fire from almost everything (even flint and steel) and the burns with strong flame for like 2 minutes.

    1. Heat vaseline in a small container or on a spoon
    2. Suck up into syringe
    3. Inject liberally into veins switches, connectors, and other electronic moving parts that I’d like to be waterproof. (0. Cover PCB in nail polish or specially-made products)
