Use this lamp to heat wax-working tools or as a flame polisher or where a low temperature flame is desired such as for heating carving tools for Craft Work, Dental, Science and General Lab use. The heavy glass reservoir has faceted sides to allow it to be tipped for angling the flame. A screw adjustment for the 7" x 3/16" wick controls the height of the flame. A safety cap snuffs the flame and prevents fuel evaporation. For the best flame, use methyl alcohol fuel, also Lamp uses Denatured Alcohol for fuel which can easily be found at hardware stores.
