You don't need salt at all. Where I come from, years ago, we were losing power every other day, sometimes for days, so mom used to make candles using cotton and oil. It's just a piece of cotton soaked wet twist between two fingers and light it up. It will burn for hours. And we also had a lot of mosquitoes, so before turning the light on, my mom would smudge the light bulb with oil and then turn the light on. All the mosquitoes would stick to the bulb. In the morning, mom would just wipe the bulb off. Worked like a charm

[@kiransharma7486]

That's the good news for mosquito prone areas. Thanks

[@UsenameTakenWasTaken]

Yeah, the salt is just holding the wick in position as far as I can tell.

[@jennyanimal9046]

Wow!thank you for the awesome information.

[@dianeseverin2529]

I love that tip about oil on the bulb! All natural! Thanks!

[@grandibig9161]

in the war of 1990, we used oil, but instead of salt, we poured ordinary water, and we put a shoelace through the crust of bread as a fuse and put it on the oil to float, that's what we used instead of candles

[@HungrySciANNtist2020]

Wow very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahsincerely2.0]

May I ask what you mean by putting a shoelace through a CRUST or bread?

[@MindMoulder]

@@sarahsincerely2.0 I would guess the the actual bread crust, soaks up less moisture than the bread, but i am only guessing here

[@concatinate]

@@MindMoulder and bread crusts float well, as anybody who has fed ducks in a pond can attest.

[@niklassarri108]

Clever, or a slice of a cork from a wine bottle with a hole in it would do it. With a floating device and the twig underneath, you can pour a little water in the bottom, then oil on that. This cools down the oil so the glass wont crack. Also, its safe. When the oil runs out, the cork sinks and the twig reaches the water and puts out it self.

[@BertHeideveld]

The flame is restless and will smoke. The oxygen to burn collides with the hot air from the flame. Try a lower glass and let the wick stick out over its rim.Greetings

[@dorarolfzen4132]

Butter burns cleaner then oil. No black soot on wall's or ceiling's.

[@joaorocha555]

As a wick, you may use a piece of cotton shoelace (not synthetic) stuck in a paper clip to keep it vertical.

[@carlosonliones202]

Won’t a paper clip burn?

[@MindMoulder]

@@carlosonliones202 the paper clip is made out of metal usually so my best guess is that it wont

[@dorarolfzen4132]

​​@@carlosonliones202and possibly release gases. Use pure copper or pure aluminum metal's which don't release any gas fumes.

[@seemapradhan7616]

We have been using oil and cotton wick lamps🪔 in the Hindu & Buddhist Temples and also our homes for centuries in India and the neighbouring countries ! 😀. The wooden stick in the wick is also an option if the lamp is so designed with a small hole to fit it in . Butter is preferred to oil as it doesn't create black soot in the ceiling or wall . The salt is however a new concept .

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

Would this then be called a _butter lantern?_ 😊 When Queen Elizabeth II passed away, someone shared in a comment section that the king and queen of Bhutan had lit a number of butter lanterns in her honor.

[@judichristopher4604]

[@TheThreeMountains]

I've just tried it and it works!! 😊🌟🌟🌟😍💕🙏Thank you so much!! I didn't use salt, I just coiled a wire to sit at the bottom of a glass jar and used a cotton rope around the wire soaked in sunflower oil. At first, the flame made its way down slowly and I was thinking that it would die once it touches the oil inside the jar but no! The flame is now steady and it is a big flame sitting on top of the oil. (I tried it before with margarine but the flame just died as soon as it touched the margarine!!). I'm overjoyed that I have finally got it right!! I have put it inside my iron Woodburner and ill wait to see how long it lasts!! Thank you loads!! 🙏💕🌟☃️❄️🌨️ (as gas prices are up, I appreciate having a constant burning flame around the house!!)

[@TheThreeMountains]

Just to update you... I advise everyone to use these oil candles outside for the garden, etc. I used it indoors and this morning I found black soot in my nose... So, I will not use it indoors again with my son. But great for outdoor parties! 🎂🌟🎉🎉

[@HungrySciANNtist2020]

Haha, that was funny. But you are right it has that black soot. Also your idea on using coiled wire was brilliant! I’m glad you found this video useful.

[@grantfryer407]

very useful..easy and quick to make

[@user-kt9wl9iy4v]

No need to waste salt. Just fill half jar with water. Next add oil. Oil will float on water. Insert small cotton wick and burn. 😄😄😄😄

[@ABC1701A]

Better still find a small round metal holder - a wick holder from a tealight works - and punch a TINY hole in it, just bit enough for the wick to come through. Then float that on the surface and it holds the wick in place. You can also use plastic, I've seen that done as well, and you can make very decorative ones with shells/flowers etc in the water [add food colouring if you want to] before putting the oil on top. They were very fashionable to buy/use about 7-10 years ago.

You can use marbles instead of salt too, they are pretty, infinitatly reusable, and then you aren't using up salt!

[@4saken404]

Oh yes I really like this one! They should catch the light and not only look pretty but help disperse it. I'm going to have to try this one soon!

You're telling me marbles won't crack from the flame.

[@LightBeing369]

This is such a useful idea, Thank You for sharing✌

[@dianemoril7612]

use a wooden barbecue stick, it's longer and safer compared to binding the sticks with scotch. you can also roll all together a paper shit and a handkerchief on the outside layer: the paper will strengthen the wick and the handkerchief will absorb the oil. know that used oil will smell a lot and your home will have a (fries or else) scent. but if it's an emergency just do as you can.

[@smitamukne6473]

Very Nice that used salt and made that. Thanks to you

[@theguildedscribe777]

So Beautiful! Thank you very much!

[@shaedlaer]

Good video, except don't use plastic tape to tape sticks together - it may produce toxic fumes when burning. Instead either use paper tape or use longer grill sticks.

[@albertonazario2025]

The plastic tape was a genius idea. Gotta love smell of it once the wick is half way through. lol

[@margotmargot4426]

not good to inhale it.

[@user-sr6ec7uo2x]

The flame doesn' t have to reach the plastic tape and burn it as long as we have made sure it's inside the salt level. Of course using a long stick -if you can find one-is more convenient.

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

In an emergency, two of the most precious things - salt and cooking oil - used to make light. Clever trick, but expensive after a disaster! I'd rather go without that kind of light, than do without cooking oil and salt. Still, clever if it's in abundance.

[@anandwonder]

Instead of wasting salt use cotton drawstring 2 inches more then the height of the jar. make a tight fitting hole in the lid of jar from inside in X shape and bend the four cutting outward to top side of lid to secure the cotton drawstring wick fill the jar and light the lamp

You can also use baby oil , as a wick you can use a rizla paper, screwed tight , soak most in the oil Just leave alittle dry on top, you have a light and an air freshener 😉 ( old prison trick ) Love and light ❤🙏❤

Why does it has air freshener? Is it because of the baby oil?
