One weekend we stopped at a flea market and I picked up this Collins double bit for $15. It is in great shape but the head is loose. I think a new wedge should fix that.
At a different flea market I picked up this "Betty Lamp" for the princely sum of $2. I stuck some jute twine in there for a wick and it works like a charm. I'm using citronella oil for fuel. This oil does NOT keep skeeters away, at least not around here.
Any idea's on a proper wick? Maybe one made out of field expedient materials?
God Bless Yall!

Walmart has 100% cotton "filler cord" in their fabrics/craft section. It is cotton rope with a secondary cotton netting around the outside. It comes in assorted sizes and is something like $2.50 for twenty feet. I think that might be a good wick.
sounds like that will work. thanks for the heads up!
I would suggest plant fibre cordage or try using some plant tinder material.
