I used to do that as well. Just got lazy about it in recent years.
I used to make char cotton (just cotton balls stretched/flattened charred), slide them into one of those big straws (0.5 inch diameter?) with one end sealed, and pour the melted paraffin in there, pop into the fridge, and an hour later I had a fire-starting stick. Push out of the straw, and cut up into 1 inch 'paraffin cake' pieces.
For use, I just teased out the fibers (if necessary) all around the paraffin cake, and then light. You could light the things with just the sparker from an empty Bic lighter.
