Instructions!
1- Make a dot where you want the hole to go in the lid.
2- If you are using the drill, make a starter hole with the screw driver first. Pound the back of the lid with the screw driver and the hammer. It doesn’t take much to make a hole. Then, take the drill and hold the lid very, VERY tight. It will try to spin on you if you don’t. Remember, 3/8 drill bit.
3- Put the nipple through the hole. On both sides of the lid, add a washer, and then a coupling. The nipple should be longer underneath the lid than on top of the lid. You will want the nipple and coupling to be flush on top of the lid.
4- After that is attached, twist your strip of t-shirt and then thread it through the nipple. It will expand a little after it is soaked with oil.
5- Add oil to your jar to the desired amount.
6- Attach completed lid back onto the jar.
7- You will want to wait for the oil to soak all the way up the t-shirt before you light it, otherwise it will just burn it up.
Warning: Candles are dangerous. Please take all safety precautions.
