Made a Alcohol Lamp will it work?
    #10616743 - 07/03/09 04:22 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

I dont have an alcohol lamp so i made one out of one of my jars. I drilled a hole in the lid and put a piece of shirt through it so only a little bit sticks out of the top. I then filled the jar with rubbing alcohol. I lit it and it works fine but im not sure if it may explode or anything. Thats why i came to you guys. i dont want to get hurt lol.

It SHOULD work just fine.  My first alcohol lamp was basically the same design, I used  a piece of cotton for the wick though.

A candle WILL work, but is a dirtier flame, so you'll get some soot on your needle, which doesn't really matter.  Oh, and an alcohol lamp using denatured alcohol burns hotter than a candle, so that's another benefit of using a lamp.

For sure! It takes a bit longer but works!

And you don't need to be playing around with alcohol on a sketchy burner.
