FOOLPROOF JOINT ROLLING METHOD #1 Use Rips or similar cigarette papers - very wide and on a roll - just unroll the amount you need. Next - you need one of those very fine split cane table mats - a bit like those beach mat things but smaller and made of finer stuff. Put the paper on the centre of the mat - gum facing up, on the side of the mat furthest from you, add whatever quantities of dope/tobacco etc you feel like in a nice line down the middle of the paper. Now, take the mat in both hands with your thumbs toward you and your other fingers away from you so that it creases in the middle and folds the paper and smoking mix up. Now roll it back and forth between your thumbs and fingers - you only need to move it about an inch or so each way. You will find that the mat rolls the paper around the mix and into a perfect cyclinder. Next, move your thumbs down, and your fingers up slowly until the gummed edge of the paper appears over the top of the mat. Lick it and roll your thumbs up and fingers down so the wet gummed edge is drawn back into the mat, keep rolling a bit further and it will be automatically stuck down to finish the joint. Then - open the mat, add a roach if you feel so inclined, twist or cut the end, paint pretty pictures on it, or whatever you wish to do. Finally, the tricky bit: Take some sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, grind it down gently to a fine paste with some glue. Take a small stick of dry wood and dip the end into this mixture. Leave this to dry thoroughly. When dry, scrape the end with the hard paste against a rough surface. If you have got the mixture correct, it will ignite and light the wood. You can use this to light your perfect new joint with. Congratulations - you just made a joint and a match....
