heff's funky tip

when cleaning one's shoes, it is not only fun, but useful to set light to the boot polish. a big flame shall appear, that should be extinguished by replacing the lid, before applying the liquidy boot polish to your scruffy shoe. and always polish shoes in small circles

it is/was standard army practise

dunno whether present day polish burns though, you can put the tin in hot water for the same effect, works on dubbin and the wax for barber jackets too.
