Flame Needle With Candle vs. Alcohol Lamp
    #10215421 - 04/22/09 06:50 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

This is probably a really stupid question, but I'm anal enough to ask it -- you can just use a candle instead of a lighter or alcohol lamp to flame needles, right?  I'm slightly worried that a candle might deposit some wax on the needle or something.

I was trying to use a lighter last time but it was cramping my style because I kept having to relight it when flaming the needle.  Perhaps I should invest in an alcohol burner.

I never had a problem when I used a candle, I prefer to use those "wind proof" stick lighters though.

You may also build an alcohol burner

I put denatured alcohol in it and cover it with foil when i'm not using it

I suggest to the OP though to make sure it is made correctly, or it will become a motoval cocktail.

I like bics, only problem is with gloves sometimes it makes it a lot harder to get it going. Braking the safety helps, but I have the bad habit of melting gloves like that.

I mean there are a lot of ways to do it, hands free methods though are kinda nice.

To flame sterilize my needles I use a baby food jar, alcohol, and a cotton ball. Cost me less than a buck and could not be any more simple. Have a couple of pint jars of water around in case of an emergency spill!!

I heard one way is to get a shot glass turn that upside down, put a little bit of denture alcohol in the little dip that is on the bottom of the shot glass, and just light that, it will burn for a few minuets I believe.
