Actually, I have a question here regarding to the electrical matches. Currently, I have several 12V electrical matches which look nearly identical to the electrical matches you have shown in the above image (The image that has three different heads - red, grey and black). Now, i am trying to ignite these electrical matches and I am wondering if I can straight away connect it to a 12V regulated power supply. The ignition will be controlled via a push button. Is this a feasible way? Do I need to consider any safety measures? Thanks. Regards. Hi your article is great.

However, what this article has done is finally - once and for all - made me realise just how time consuming and 'fiddly' making them is... particularly as I was looking to make fairly large quantities (as an alternative to importing them from China). I am now fully convinced that the better option (for me) is to stick to buying them all ready-made! lol BUT, this is great for hobbyists that want the buzz of having made their very own ematches. Thanks for this, cracking article matey... keep smiling, stay safe... alanb Hi… great article, very comprehensive, and easily the best on making ematches that I have found (and boy have I been looking! lol).
