Glass Fibre wick?

Recommended Posts

Well FWIW the term Glass Fibre can sometimes be silica. Note our common drinking glasses are ~75% silica.

That said for the most part it may actually refer to a fiberglass, which in this country usually "is a fiber reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibers of glass."

The main problem is it's much lower melting point than pure silica fiber.

Silica wick is what you should use, it can be dry burned and black crud buildup can be torched off.
