How do I light the matches?

Can I refill the glass jar?

Are these matches waterproof?

Can I use these for lighting a gas stove?

Troubleshooting
Match does not light
Ensure you are striking the match firmly on the designated area on the back of the bottle. Check if the striking surface is worn; if so, consider a new jar. Ensure the match head is dry.
Matches are difficult to remove from the jar
Check if the lid is properly seated. Ensure no moisture has caused the matches to stick. Gently tap the bottle or try wiggling the lid to loosen it.
Striking surface is ineffective
The striking surface is designed for a limited number of uses. If it becomes worn down, you may need to replace the entire jar or use a separate striker if available.
