Water proof matches, yes it would do that just fine, however what the author failed to think about is using the match a week or a year later. Hard brittle polish covering the match head what happens when you strike the match, the brittle polish flies off and you are holding a bare match stick The comment about hot wax igniting a match head is more bull. Candle wax, beeswax, I suspect that even shoe polish might work.
