I used a lighter.
But what if I bought isopropyl alcohol poured it in a shot glass and light it. will that work?

you can actually turn a baby food jar into a nice alcohol lamp pretty easily. Just cut a small hole in the lid, thread a cotton shoelace through it and let the excess sit in the bottom of the jar, fill it up with alcohol, and voila. Flame sterilize away! There's not going to be enough oxygen inside the jar to support combustion, so as long as the hole in your lid is tight around the shoelace, you shouldn't have to worry about blowing yourself up or starting a fire.

Haha, that would just kind of explode the glass. Find a small jar with a lid, then add alcohol. Make the smallest possible hole through the jar lid so that a thick string can fit through. Put the string through the hole and close the jar with the cap so that the string dips in the alcohol. You can then light the string with a normal lighter and it will keep being lit until it runs out of oxygen/alcohol, which means that to turn it off cover the string with something like...um...a shot glass.

For this string alcohol lamp. Am I dipping the whole string in alcohol first? Or just half the string?

Either way... The string sucks up the alcohol pretty fast.
...also, you want denatured alcohol. It burns much much better than the isopropyl.

sounds like a simple version of a kerosene lamp.

I doubt it, Soot can't harbor contams so most it can do is back up your needles or gunk up your silicone injector ports.

i wouldn't think so. its just annoying.
personally if i were you guys i would just buy a torch lighter. they get the job done much faster without soot.

The shot glass idea will work. The only problem that I see is that it'll get knocked over. Making one is easy though.

The alcohol will "wick" up the wick...
No need to pre soak it. Just asemble, fill, wait five, adjust wick, (1/8" or less sticking up), light.
