Glass Goblet (Copa Gruesa)
To make an oil lamp using a 32oz goblet, follow these steps:
-
Gather materials: You will need a 32oz glass goblet, a wick, lamp oil, and a wick holder (all included in a pack of floating wicks/mechitas).
-
Insert the wick: Place the wick inside the goblet, making sure that it is centered and resting at the bottom of the goblet.
-
Attach the wick holder: Secure the wick to the goblet by attaching a wick holder around the wick and goblet. This will keep the wick in place and allow it to soak up the oil.
-
Fill the goblet with oil: Slowly pour lamp oil into the goblet, making sure that the wick stays centered and straight. Fill the goblet until the oil reaches just below the rim.
-
Light the wick: Once the oil has been added, light the wick and allow it to burn until it has fully soaked up the oil.
-
Enjoy your oil lamp: Place your new oil lamp in a safe location, and enjoy the warm, flickering light that it provides. To keep your oil lamp burning, simply add more oil and trim the wick as needed.
