    Using forum search gave no hits.

    Just received 10 of these from an aliexpress order-- mantles branded as 'Todi' "Superior Quality, Gas Mantles, Max Strength More Light" 300-400CP. Made by Todi Exports in Bombay, India.

    Burn nicely with a warm white output on my tilley.

    Reading the Warnings on packet, does this suggest thorium?

    New to me as well.
    You can check it out with a Geiger counter to see if its radioactive.

    Yes, I have a few packs of these in the garage, I thing I acquired them with some lamps but I have never tried them, assumed they were just for the small campgaz (etc) lamps, never thought to try them on a Tilley?
