IMPORTANT NOTICE!
As of September 10,
2021 I can sew some custom wicks again. Please inquire via
email (Miles@MilesStair.com)
for your individual wick requirements.
The surgery on
both
thumbs and 3 carpal tunnel surgeries have taken their toll on
the stamina in my hands and I am still recovering from a total
reverse shoulder
replacement.
Please ask first
before ordering the custom wicks.

Wicks can be made to fit lamps other than those listed
below. The measurements I need is the make and model,
the precise draft tube and outer tube diameters, the diameter of
the wick sleeve (if any) and whether the wick fits inside or
outside the sleeve, and the flat
width of a remnant of the original wick, if available.
Contact me by email -
|
|
LENGTH OF WICK required:
Remove the burner/gallery and
measure the height of the draft tube with a thin stick like a
bamboo skewer. That length plus 1" is the proper wick length.
WIDTH OF WICK required:
Measure the DIAMETER of
the draft tube with calipers. If you have a remnant of
the original wick remaining, measure the width of the
wick when pressed flat. (Diameter
defined) |

STUDENT LAMP WICKS
(Illustrated
Installation Instructions Included with wicks)
What I need to
make a wick for a student lamp is the flat width of any remaining
wick fragment and/or the outside diameter of the center draft tube,
the attachment sleeve, and the inside diameter of the outer wick
tube. Measured diameters - with calipers! "Eyeball
guesstimates" or ''it looks like'' are worthless.
YOU are responsible for accurate
measurements! |

`
HOW TO MEASURE TO DETERMINE THE WICK SIZE REQUIRED
The diameter of the draft tube determines the wick required by the
heater. The draft tube is easier to
measure if the burner is
removed, which leaves the draft tube as the only thing protruding from
the tank. You can see right through the draft tube to the floor, rug or
drip pan beneath the fuel tank (font) so it is easy to
identify.
