Hello, Is there a source out there for circular/tubular wicks, especially in the smaller sizes? I have a number of central draft/Argand style lamps which need these wicks. My local lamping resources have told me that I have to sew my own. Thanks, John

I stock wicking for the big-bore central draft table lamps like the Rayo, and some smaller diameter wicking I get from ...well, hell: just write Paul Benkover at REMEMBER YESTERDAY, 1382 Gravenstein Hgwy.

Hi John, I do have some tubular wicks, especially for vegetable oil lamps (moderator or Carcel), and also some for kerosene. If you send me precise diameters (in millimeters please) or better samples, I'll tell you if that is possible. Regards, Ara
