Depending on the diameter of the neck of the bottle, a different size anchor nails or blind rivets can be used as a cover and holder for the wick. You will also need a sealant in order to form a cork from it. As a wick, a spare wick for a Zippo lighter is ideal. But a brush for a pipe or any cord of natural fibers is also suitable. You can fill the spirit lamp with alcohol, kerosene, and a fire-ignition liquid. But oil for oil lamps turned out to be the ideal fuel. It’s called oil conditionally. Composition - a mixture of liquid paraffins.
For homemade - spirit lamp, we need:
And so we take a bottle from under a nail polish.
We take out a brush and cut it off. In the lid in place of the brush, increase the hole and push it back.
Separate the rivet from the rod.
We cover the rivet with sealant. It is better that the piece of iron does not touch the glass case.
Insert the wick. All the homemade spirit lamp is ready.
Before the long-term use of the spirit lamp, it is not bad to test it for about fifteen minutes. To do this, we set fire to our oil lamp and put it on a metal tray or baking sheet. If the glass does not crack, it will work.
Since the lid is made of plastic, after the end of use, it is necessary to allow our spirit lamp to cool.
