Oil Lamp Wick 1/16" Round, Cotton or Fiberglass Core, 2 Construction Options, Oil Lamps, Lanterns, Candle Making

Pepperell manufactures premium natural cotton braided oil wicks. This design features a thick inner cotton roving section with braided cotton exterior, engineered to function with various lamp oils. The wick serves as OEM components for leading lamp and lantern manufacturers, and finds use in passive lubrication and filtration applications. These wicks arrive unwaxed. Spools are measured by weight; actual length may vary by a few feet.

The 1271 wick: a 1/16 inch round braided cotton oil lamp wick on a 500 yard spool, available in Standard or Fiberglass Core variants.

• Rewick small decorative oil lamps that take the thinnest cotton.
• Pick the Fiberglass Core variant for designs that burn hotter.
• Run passive lubrication through tight spaces where wider wick will not fit.
• Stock the 500 yard spool for steady production restocking.
