Renegade started using Kevlar Wick in the early 1980's as a replacement for asbestos based wicks, used to produce juggling torches. The wick is not actually 100% Kevlar, we just called it that because Kevlar was a new (high-tech) plastic brand name at the time. The wick is actually a blend of fiberglass and aramid fiber ( Kevlar, Nomex or Twaron are some common brand names of aramid fiber) The quality of the wick is related to the ratio of fiberglass/aramid fiber used to make the thread, and the weave of the thread in the finished products. The more fiber-glass in the thread, the cheaper the manufacturing cost (and lower the quality). The higher the amount of fiber-glass in the wick the heavier (not good for juggling applications) and less absorbent (not good for burn times) it is. Renegade wick uses a time proven aramid/fiber-glass blend and weave which is optimal for fire props. Renegade Kevlar Rope may be used to make fire darts, fire meteor, fire snakes, fire swords, fire fans, fire wanes and many other fire prop or installations. One of the most common uses for fire rope is to make a monkey fist knot that is used as a fire poi head. The rope is made from the same high quality blend of Kevlar, Nomex and Fiberglass as our flat wick, it has a braided exterior and a stranded fiber core.

When using wicking for juggling, the lower temperature fuels will help
the wick last longer. If you use lamp oil the prop will run much cooler
than if you use white gas.
