Product Description
Approximately 5 Feet of 3.6mm round, braided cotton replacement wicks for oil lamps and lanterns. Cut to needs. Fits Firefly Pillar Candles. Not intended for Tiki Torches. Please completely soak the wick before using; otherwise, you will burn the wick and not the fuel which will make you sad. We send a PDF attached to our "Tips" email which provides detailed information on how to thread the wick into a Firefly Wick Holder. There are also videos on the internet. The wick should protrude from the aluminum collar only slightly. Believe me, the flame will grow within 5 minutes. And, if you do need to adjust the wick, blow out the flame and wait 5 minutes or so because the aluminum collar gets super hot and will burn your fingers. Place the wick in the fuel and let it soak for a minute or two before lighting. If you find that the wick is actually burning and producing smoke, then you probably have the wick way too high. It should be no higher than just slightly above the wick holder. Less is better and the flame will grow as I said above. You will know when the wick needs to be trimmed because its performance will degrade. To trim, simply twist and push up. Cut off the scorched area and then be sure to untwist the wick. If you do not untwist the wick, the wick will again perform poorly.
