    I am having a bit of a clear out.
    One of the paraffin heaters I have the wick moves ups and down no problem, but when I put the outer collar thingy on it it sticks solid.
    This is such a simple device what am I missing?

    Like I said in my reply on CCS, try to saturate the wick with paraffin first (acts as a lubricant) and then try again. Do let us know if this was of any help!

    Best regards,
