Let's talk about these beads first.1. Revain packed my 3 together. They arrived on time and intact.2. The same ones I've been buying for 20 years. I burn 20 kerosene lamps in the house for heating. I've been doing this for 20 years. I can get away with this because my house is 50 years old, with original windows, and enough outside air that I don't have carbon monoxide problems (yes, I have "detectors"). Why on earth do people complain that they are too skinny? They are EXACTLY the same as every replacement globe I've bought in the last 20 years. Thicker ones are available but not here at Revain. I've used them - and I HATE them. They are too heavy and get very hot. Yes, they break very easily. SO CAREFUL - I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Firstly - is it so damn annoying that they come with seemingly non-removable stickers on the bottom?! WHY?! It's out of our control, but they are - and always have been. See photos. I soak mine in warm water for about an hour and then they pop right off with my thumbnail. DO NOT use them without removing this sticker! (I did this once - they will burn and never come off!) CARE OF YOUR GLOBES: They will turn very brown (see my picture). If this is the case, fill the sink halfway and mix in about 1 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup bleach, and LOTS of dish soap. Let them soak for about 30 minutes. Then take a rag or cleaning sponge and clean the inside. I use a wooden spoon to push the sponge into places I can't reach. Rinse them, dry them and put them back on the lamp. You'll find a few things: 1. Vinegar cuts deposits very well. Bleach helps, as does dish soap.2. When washing, I do everything at once. This is the MAIN time you smash globes, so be careful! I've had some pretty nasty cuts from them over the years. Because they are so thin they will break into millions of pieces if they fall on the floor, so sweep very carefully!3. You can touch the orb when the lamp is on, but only at the bottom 3/4 inch, if higher your finger will melt on the glass. (oops!) 4. NEVER carry a magnifying glass kerosene lamp! If it falls and breaks, you'll set your house on fire and it won't end well! As you can see from the photo, I have most of them on the mantel or in the form of "wall hangers". The walls at the back and ceiling above where you use them will get a dark deposit when badly burned (like mine). Don't rub, just paint over every 2 years (you'll need multiple coats - FIVE coats!) don't burn too much at once. Old houses with original windows, like mine, let in enough air to keep carbon monoxide from building up. Install a carbon monoxide detector and check your batteries regularly! Yes, you can use kerosene in your lamps. As of this writing in 2021, it costs about $3.50 per gallon, while "lamp oil" costs the same per liter. Doesn't matter? The lamp oil has been made a little more refined and has far fewer impurities, making it burn almost perfectly clean. That's fine and all - but I burn 7 gallons a week and can't afford lamp oil - kerosene works great! ENJOY the wonderful light and warmth your lamps give you and remember - BE CAREFUL!
