For you wicks
Buy the stuff from HOP shop, its the best i've found
and cheapest I've found.:)
I've tested it for you, it works.

This was not some sponsored post, its my honest opinion

Get out and spin, And stop worrying about it so much

Thanks for the reply Glåss. Well, the thing is I was thinking of stitching some more fire ropes. The set I've made are KevlarTM cotton (not from HoP) and the HoP wicks are KevlarTM glass fibre. Though I think it looks pretty reasonably priced, I want to find out whether it splinters. I've had two hands murdered with hundreds of fibreglass splinters (from an inline hockey stick)- which don't wipe off properly, and don't wash off either, and leave you -very- afraid of rubbing your eyes, and I was just wondering if I could duplicate this pleasant experience with my future creations.
