To make the wick I cut the seam off a scrap of cotton cloth and dipped it in salt water. Then it sprinkled salt over it and let it dry. Then once dry rub all the salt off and use as wick.

The lamp so far works very well and is nice and compact so one could bring it camping. Feel free to comment :)
