hello

today ill show you how to make a permanent wick for your flat wick or central draft oil lamp.

it is a bit costly but it is the kind of wick it is set up and forget, with no fear to let it burn,and no trimming.

i know there is fiber glass wicks for those lamps but they are hard to find and tend to clog or fray easily.

the wick we will build is mostly carbon felt .

it is easier to get and it will fit any size of lamps or lantern you have.

flat or central draft style.

note: you can clean the wick by dry burning it!

have fun!
