Alcohol Burner

Recommended Posts

I bought one of these alcohol burners to heat up my creasing tools. Am I supposed to open the second cap to vent? Burner lights up but then it starts seeping out everywhere and that sucker is tight.

A few pictures would help. We need to know what it looks like to respond.

Pictures of your particular lamp would be helpful.

Please be careful is fuel is leaking out of your lamp while it's lit!

In general, a spirit lamp is like any other wicked lamp. The fuel is drawn up the wick by capillary action. There are no other vents or holes than the one the wick passes through and the wick should not completely occlude the opening it sites in.
