The original window was most likely mica. Not sure what your new material is, could also be mica also.

Both of materials are the same

That would be my guess, too.

Where did you find the replacement wick and heat resistant glass? Thanks in advance.

Hello my friend, there is a fabric sample for sale on eBay, you can search there, you can also use the oil samovar wick.

You can cut the top of the wick so its top gets perfectly level. That will give you a cleaner, more uniform burn. There is a special tool for this

Yes, that was a good point, after some wick has worked and the surface of the wick has burned, you should use the tool you mentioned to even out the wick and the flame.🙏

Paraffin heaters can be suitable for homes, but there are several factors to consider: 1. Ventilation: Paraffin heaters produce carbon monoxide and other emissions, so adequate ventilation is crucial to ensure safety. 2. Size of the Room: Ensure the heater is appropriate for the size of the room you intend to heat. A heater that’s too small may not provide sufficient warmth. 3. Safety Features: Look for models with safety features like automatic shut-off, tip-over protection, and a stable base. 4. Usage: Consider how often you’ll use it. Paraffin heaters can be cost-effective for occasional use, but they may not be ideal for continuous heating. 5. Regulations: Check local regulations regarding the use of paraffin heaters in residential areas, as some places have restrictions due to safety concerns. 6. Alternative Options: Consider other heating options like electric or gas heaters, which might be safer and more efficient for home use. Always prioritize safety and consult the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific heater you have in mind.

The flame must be blue and not “yellow”; a yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion and gives off carbon monoxide ~ ⚠️⚰️, a blue flame indicates complete combustion with oxygen and makes carbon dioxide fumes, and these also produce a lot of humidity so both need adequate ventilation

@samuelfellows6923 It is absolutely true, the surface of the wick is not the same and uniform, that's why it is a little yellow. After working for a few days and the surface of the wick is a little burnt, with a special tool, the surface of the wick must be smooth and uniform to obtain a blue flame.
