Koehring heaters which require wicks #15 & #16: These are a two part wick, an upper portion which is fiberglass and has the top burning surface, and a lower cotton section to which is attached the wick raising mechanism. The two-piece wick was designed so that the lower section could be used over and over again, so attaching a new top section (#16T) was a design feature of this wick. To keep the lower section of the wick in top condition, the heater should always be stored "dry," and the lower section should be soaked in 91%+ alcohol once a year or so. Pure alcohol is available in most hardware stores, being sold as Shellac Thinner. The alcohol will absorb any kerosene residue and water, and thus restore the cotton filaments to the full capillary action needed to ensure proper "wicking" action to the upper portion of the wick. The wick must then be thoroughly dried by evaporation, the wick raising mechanism lightly oiled, and it is ready to use again or store dry in a freezer bag until needed. The entire two part wick is often not available - get them while you can!
