are you talking 4" cathedral wicks? because I will warn you now that they are friggin heavy, burn forever, and soak up an insane amount of fuel (causing massive fuel splatters at the beggining of a spin unless you take a long time to spin out)Here is a solution a friend of mine came up with - he wrapped a couple of 4" diameter by 6" tall coffee cans with two layers of wicking, secured with sheet metal screws. This burns a bit longer than 2" cathedral wicks and doesn't weigh that much more dry. The flames these things put off is huge. See pic (2nd from bottom) at https://spacsun.rice.edu/~henize/fire.html
