pin cap is secured to the stick next heat the end of a hot glue stick and use
the melted glue to attach your lighter to the stick make sure the pin
has bent directly over the flame now when you flick your lighter you can push
a hot glue stick through the wide end of the pen cap the lighters flame will melt
it and it'll come out the other side presto now you're cooking with fire or
