I would keep hold of it as we head into a possible net zero blackout time in the UK :lol:
This chap seems to have come up with an adaptor to allow the use of Aladdin mantles on the Famos models Oil & Kerosene Lamps Replacement Parts
Well that is interesting as it does show that they are made commercially in a "soft" format. Nice to see the "spare" material and that it is tied...

Wow - did not know that. That would explain much about shrinkage !

I only know of two types of real cork. "Natural" cork or the "Grainy (Agglomerate) Cork" made of glueing small cork granules together under...
