Steel wool

so, exactly how do you use this steal wool? I know what it is and it's normal purposes. However, how exactly would you use it to construct a wick. Also, wouldn't the fuel seap out of the wick very easily if it was made purely out of steal wool. Forgive my ignorance, I would just like to try it out sometime.

tease it out a bit, put it in a basket (chicken wire is good) attach rope/chain/whatever, light with lighter, wirl like crazy.

Check out the Steel wool to infinity and beyond thread (started by knagi) should have all the information you will need in there
