SatinDucky Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Someone asked about something to make all the wicks the same length. It just dawned on me this morning. A plastic pont bead is exactly 1/4" high. Drop it ove ther wick and trim. Ok, so this is a hillbilly jig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 I am from the south,but what the hell is a hillbilly jig.:embarasse AnnaIt's just another way of saying jerry-rigged, mickey-moused, or whatever the local term for homemade from what's on hand, inexpensive, and unfancy.I just said jig, because someone had asked about a "jig" to trim wicks the same length each time...
