I wrote up a tutorial on making tube core wicks for fire poi today. I made derek and sean a set of tube cores last night when we were hanging out spinning fire. The tube cores are great wicks, and easy to make. I like spinning them a lot. But, I wont be spinning the tubes for long — Derek and I ordered some kevlar on Thursday and are going to make cathedral wicks. Bigger flames, and more burn time, w00t (I did order some extra kevlar for myself, and I think i’m going to make some “mini-tubecores” (2″ tall, vs. the 4″ tall ones that I use now, and derek and sean now have.)
