Cool  URL.  And you've just reminded me of a Girl Scout camping project.  You 
get an empty can (I believe we used tuna fish size).  cut strips of 
CORRUGATED cardboard, wrap them tightly in circles inside the can and then 
pour melted candle wax (or was it paraffin??).  It then hardens.  Would this 
be safe on a plane?
