Where can I get an odd wick size

If you have an odd sized wick, just use the method I use for the small Vortalex and Whiz wicks. 
 

Go to a hobby shop and buy a length of brass tubing with the INSIDE diameter of the wick you want. Them buy a thick sheet or block of felt. Cut a 3” piece of tubing and bevel the outside of one end of the tubing with a grinder. Then add some serrations with a file. 
 

Chuck it in your drill and bore it into the block of felt.  The piece inside of the tube is your new wick. Works like a charm.  

Perfect. I was hoping someone had tried that. Thanks Lane that will help me.

Contact me if you need any help with that Trevor.  For those small wicks I just bore into the center of a piece of 3/8” wicking.
