is there such a thing as stale wick?
Anyway, I saw this post a couple days ago, and I had been thinking and searching for about
2 weeks off and on for a solution for wick and wire. And this solution was right there on my mind, but couldn't grasp it.
Big thanks to mwa102464 for the suggestion that proved to myself I wasn't crazy.
Was at the Auto parts store to get headlights for the wife's car and there they were under the counter, 2 for a $1. I bought 4.
I did waste the Teflon on 2 of them, yes. Washed them well with soap and water, then a 91% Iso bath.
They will hold (and I am estimating) 100ft +/- some feet of Wick and about 400ft +/- some feet of 32ga Kanthal.
However, I found that I got really irritated by the fact that my 50ft of Kanthal was wrapped around
a 1in X 2in cardboard around the 1in side of it. Now my wire as kinks in it all the way down it.
I will have to try and smooth them out as I use it.
I got it about the cheapest you can get it anywhere.
Spend the extra money and
buy form someone who states they spool
it on a round spool and not a business card (which I also have) or cardboard.
