Dietz Replacement Wick Roll 7/8" 33' Red Stripe: Efficient Wick Replacement for Your Dietz Lantern Review

This is not a single leak. it is tubular, and the answer to the question about it is wrong. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it wasn't a flat, one piece construction. very disappointing.

I HIGHLY recommend that you CUT your wicks to 12 or 14 inches LONG BECAUSE there is always about 3-5 inches at the end that WILL BE LOST because it doesn't reach the fuel so those 8 inch wicks will just burn you about 4-5 cm (4" x 1/4" per day = 16 days of use until you get rid of the old 8" wick.) So if you cut off the 14" wicks and the last 4" lose, burn…
