20 gram charges for schü mine

Does anyone have an actual photo of a 20 Gram charge used in the Schü Mine. If you are making one up what do you wrap in it, waxed paper, or regular paper that you then wax?

Any help would be appreciated.

i used a cut to size block of wood bearing in mind the folded ends which can add to length. I then drill and fit a resin plastic made 10 x1 mm det plug and glue in place I then used coloured sugar paper you find in schools colleges in art departments. Paper is cut to size and wrapped around block and the ends parcel folded and PVA glued in place. When dry the papered block is either dipped in hot candle wax and with a hot air gun heat warmed so the wax absorbs into the paper venly around the block. Before you wax you need to apply a filling round label over the det plug,
