But howsoever beautiful are the designer oil lamps and tiki torches these are of no use without wicks. Wicks are the strings of cords that are ignited to produce flame. The purpose of the fiberglass wick is to bring the oil up for the burning. Fiberglass wicks are made from the highly thin fibers of glass.
Close to 80% of the wicks in America are made from 100 % cotton or combination of cotton-paper. N these also you can get the following types:
- Round fiberglass wicks
- Flat fiberglass wicks
- Square finer
- Braided fiberglass wicks
- Unbraided fiberglass wicks
Three parcels of fibers are use in making Flat wicks are knitted that can braided or unbraided. Square garden torch and oil lamps can be braided or knitted. These are stronger than the flat wicks and thus quiet popular. Apart from these, cored wicks are also there. The cords in the wicks give strength to the wicks. Like many other wicks, these fiber glass wicks contain the bundle of fibers. Through this kerosene or any other fuel comes up with the help of fiberglass.
Fiberglass wicks do not cost much. You can get this for $3 to $20. The price varies with the brands, number of wicks in a pack and diameter of the wick. The diameter can be 1/8”, 1/4” and 1/2”. Apart from this rigor-self-resistance and tethering are also the features of tiki torches. You can buy the pack containing fiberglass wicks and in a pack there are three to six fiberglass wicks.
Most of the fiberglass wicks for garden tiki torches and oil lamps are covered with wax so that the first burning can occur easily without damaging fiberglass.
