Would toothpaste or baking soda paste work?

[@ChemEDan]

If you had to choose between damp ashes and a cotton ball without ashes, which one do you think would be better?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I can't do one without ashes, but ashes paste makes an easy ignition.

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Wow! I didn't realize it made such a difference. Thanks for the reply :)

See my fire roll playlist.

I really appreciate you trying all these different materials, it saves me from getting my hands dirty. Have you tried ground cinnamon yet?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

It is common for excited new fire rollers to have a 100 ideas. I did too. Try them out and see how it goes. Only natural materials will work. Materials that will ember up when you put a lighter to it are candidates. The next important thing to consider is how strong and how fine the fibers are. Strongest and finest are best. Make sure you watch my How To Fire Roll Video. Thanks!

[@Jaybird196]

I wonder, can this work with damp, or still green, fibers?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Jaybird196 yes
