Wick Dispenser (Reusing Bottles)

[Moggy]

A challenge for Super-Shiny

Can't remember where I saw this, but thought I would frustrate myself for an hour or so winding it all in nice and neatly with no twists or kinks.

THIS is what I was up to during Tin Your Tip last night.

Romelee won't like it I can see some coils out of line

That's amazing. How did you do that?

The 3mm goes in nicely, the 2mm is a git !! I haven't attempted the 1.5mm, I think that might stay in the bag

@johanino Just cut the nipple off the dripper top to leave a hole. Take the dripper top off and feed the wick in giving it a prod now and again to encourage it to stay where it's supposed to be. Once it's in except a little bit, poke through the hole in the dripper and put it back on.

It's a bit like trying to wind a ball of wool from the outside inwards, while having it inside a bottle too small for anything too useful to help fit inside.

Oh yes, cursing and swearing at it a LOT helps too

Edit -- There's about 6m of 2mm and 4m of 3mm.

Very nice Moggy , they look like snake charmer baskets, 2mm could do with a little TLC and the label well

Me myself i like to Iron mine and lay them nice and looped @15cm and then popped into a 20x20cm clear zip bag

I was determined to fit the last 3/4's of a metre of 2mm in the bottle, it got a little tight and refused to coil to the outside ....thats my excuse

The labels were from my spanky label maker that won't do anything that resembles a nice font. I will do some nicer ones just to please the maestro

Nothing wrong with the font, it's the wonky bit (or maybe it's the angle of the camera)...if it's the camera than my apologies

It's an optical illusion Pic's taken with iPhone5, blame Apple

This has given me an idea instead of old bottles I have a few 35mm film cannisters kicking around they would be ideal i reckon
