I used cotton lamp wick like this: https://www.amazon.com/Paraffin-Kerosene-Lanterns-Genuine-Superior/dp/B01BYLYQYY/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BGACPVC704NHP4827AC3&dpID=51iI62A7ikL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail
I just folded it over a couple times and stitched it so it looks like a letter "P". The folded over part lays on the deck and the tail sticks out throught the toe rail. It hangs free of the hull so the drips fall off the end of the wick and don't run down the topsides. Amazon sells round wicks for about $2. One could just tie a know in a couple of those and do the same thing. :) Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
