the possibles bag? Sounds plausible.

We made an electrical splice once where we were not supposed to. Adhering to strict code, it was a real situation involving considerable resources. So we got a small box and made a trap around the very secure splice. It took about 1-1/2 boxes of paraffin but it made a block of solid wax around it. That was 2013, so far so good. I know nothing! Don't remember anything either.

The two most important rules to ensure ignition is to pop a cap or two to clear oils, open the nipple. AND make durn sure the cap is fully seated. I've personally kept C&B loaded for months and they fired fine. But get sloppy and you'll be removing nipples over live chambers and trying to dribble in fresh powder.
