  Screen.  Hmmm.  Stainless steel screening (from a pan anti-spatter screen)
is what I've used to cover several wicks, such as in the pm solar.

  I think I might need the wicking material to soak up the alcohol and get it to
the rolled screen.  Maybe a rolled-up screen would wick it up from the reservoir
but I'll have to test that.  Either way, I won't have to quick-step to save the
wick from burning down in an inconvenient way.
