aluminum can. The bottom and lid are cut out in it, and then the finished filling is inserted.

Subsequently, the mass should acquire a brown color. After that you need to add soda. Take care that the mixture does not run away. After the prepared substance has cooled, it should be packaged in matchboxes, so that there are no voids inside.
