Carry spare flints and main charge Black powder will work (real black powder )your using right along with sub ?and what brand ? You can find all kinds of vidieos on flint napping but best done at home to start . Angle of flint /depth it is set at and where it strikes frizzen and condition of lock (clean/lubed )? It all plays a part on quality of spark /EdProbably the biggest PITA was keeping a spark going. The pan powder kept coating the flint with burnt residue and squelching the spark. I wipe the flint and frizzen down and get any visible residue off but it doesn't spark like the first time after a full breakdown and cleaning.
Is there any recommended way to clean up the flints?
