I know this information is available in the forum but I can't search now so please anyone know where to buy the striking match paper or how to make it, please show me. I know couple of dealers have it too but I can't seem to find the right word to call it when searching so I haven't found it yet. Thank you for any input.

My problem is finding the Stike Anywhere Matches and the striking paper without going thru a dealer.

Orchad always carries strike anywhere match. Usually about $1 each box. The striking paper can use a few times but I'd like to buy the whole piece of 8x11. There was a dealer in another country sells it before but I lost the link.

What type of store is Orchad?
I have heard that you could use some light grade sandpaper as striking paper.

Here is the store http://www.osh.com/Cultures/en-US?ft=true
Sometime I found them in 99 cent store too. The sand paper is good if you strike the match on but what I use for is putting it between the natch pull. Oh, maybe that's what I should ask where to buy the match paper supply for match pull. Any one? Thanks Ken |

Try Dan Birch. That's where I got mine a few years ago.

The UK has what we call Swan vestas, These are strike anywhere matches. Are these in demand?
For the paper (emery paper) if you want the real stuff then why not take the paper off of a match box/book?

Whenever I go to a resturant I take a few book matches. Take off the striking paper and discard the paper matches. Tony Clarks uses this for the matches. If you have the old german spring match pull, they put rough sandpaper in it. Just try any wet and dry sandpaper by 3M. They come in different grades. Sanding Belts will work as well, like the emery paper Partizan suggested.
You don't need strick anywhere matches. These are next to impossible to find in a store in the USA now. I did a search some time ago and found you have to buy them in large quanity from the manufacturer and they are not on the internet. Have to do by telephone and mail. Diamond Match Company was the one I did a search on. |

Bill,
My local OSH Hardware store (A cousin of Sear store) carries the Strike anywhere match all the time. You may want to check them out. http://www.osh.com/Cultures/en-US?ft=true Regarding the paper from the matchboxes. It's kind of a little small for my match pull. I'll try the wet/dry sand paper form 3M. Lou, Thank you for pointing to Dan Birch's site. He does carry it but it is $10 an 8x10 after shipping. I'll see I can find anywhere cheaper first. |

I was in the local PUBLIX food store today and saw several 3 packs of "strike anywhere's" (big box). I have also found them in BI-LO and ACE/TrueValue Hardware stores.
FWIW Cheers!
