Plait the Wick

Plait the string so it is about 1.5foot long. Tie off the end.

Tie a Whopping Great Knot in One End Pf the Plait

Tie a heaving line in one end of the plait. This will be the lighted end of the wick.

There's a Hole in My Coke Lid...

Select a drill bit slightly smaller than your plait and use it to drill a hole on the coke lid.

Feeding Time

Feed the non-lighting end of the wick through the hole. You may have to cut off the knot to do so. If so, retie it when the wick is fully through.

Fill and Wait

Fill the bottle half full with torch fuel, insert the wick and wait for the fuel to soak up the wick.
