The Best Citronella Torches Tutorial

1. Make the wicks – the coton string draws up the citronella oil. the larger the wick the more flame. So to create my wicks I cut many lengths of the string, then braided them together. I made them for much longer than the peak of the mason jars so that they last longer. instead of knotting them I took a scrap string and tied it, a knot would have difficulty looking the tiny hole.

2. Punch the outlet for the wick – With the highest on the Mason jar carefully press the screwdriver through the lid, making alittle hole, you'll be able to adjust it to the dimensions of your wick later.

3. Wicks - Place wicks within the jars refill with some citronella, I only filled mine up a 3rd of the thanks to start. Let the wicks dunk within the oil then fish them out with the pliers and erupt the lids therefore the braid is secure within the top.

4. Adjust & Light the wick – to start out leave an honest little bit of the wick bent start, light the wick. initially you’ll have an outsized flame because the extra cotton from the top of the braid burns off.

5.Enjoy – Pull up the wick with pliers as required between sessions. Blow out or use alittle spaghetti sauce can as your ‘snuffer’. Keep your Mason jar box as a simple thanks to transport in and out.
