Joe, I have read if you can't get wool felt to replace the wick, you can use cotton yarn. I almost pulled the wick out when it was dirty thinking it was compacted lint, then I remembered I had read something about a wick before I got my Redeye. Now that I have soaked the base in kerosene, the wick is bright red.
