Double and triple braid candle wicks, and beeswax with extra thick wicks - suck on that Scurion  :tease:

As Mr Balch said: "Candles are by common consent the most dependable illuminant as they cast no treacherous shadows, though electric torches  are a good standby in... emergencies"

Now then, if I just stir the lithium extracted from those pesky AA batteries into the molten beeswax, and add a bit of hemp ocean liner mooring rope for a wick, what could possibly go wrong... :-\
(Yes I have used candles recently for lighting underground....)
