looks like fun but you could have put four wicks on each end, so long as you have no objections to getting burnt when you play with fire.

Yeah but he should only need one since this is probably not for contact staff
Rellizate the biggest flamey stick that i have laid my hands on bellonged to this chick and was wick and grip without much else and while it was heavy she may have used a different method of attaching her wicks to spread the weight better but it was dark and i was buzzin' so i didn't get a good look.

Get urself a wide fuel tin and pour your fuel over the wick and into the tin
Be sure to rotate the wick as you pour to esure even coverage and a good soak
Regardless of how you fuel these babys they will be thirsty and drink up tons of Kero so don't be surprised when you run out of fuel

if you dip those monstrosities you end up with fuel running down to the grip when you flip for the other side, and spinning off forever, looks cool but bye bye fuel

I meant if you soak em really, just dip in and out fairly fast, have a 'grey' towel handy for wiping down, they'll hoover up more than enough fuel for a long spin

No need to submerge so long as you get fuel onto the wicks then you get fuel into the wicks
Written by: Rellizate
Wait, so I don't actually have to submerge the wicks?

^^ that sounds like a good idea however in practice it is difficult to apply a consistent amount for every time. this will cause pmore problems as your routine gets tighter and more precise. suggest a soak + spinoff method for consistency's sake.
and lots of vegemite sammichs. LOTS.

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.
