Are the mantles they make, today still got toxins in or have they made them safer to use cause I see people using them in tents as lighting I've got a, few campingaz lamps and tilley lamps too that I want to use but was wondering if the mantals have changed to become more safer unless they was already safe in the fist place but they are really good lamps

Will Coleman Mantle #51 fit because it's more cheaper than the other mantel brand

Perhaps it would be useful to explain what a failed mantle looks like and what damage using a failed mantle can do to your lamp. Also it’s important to stress the point that mantles contain Thorium which is radioactive. The burning in process should be done outdoors and the smoke should never be inhaled. Also wash your hands after handling the mantle (especially the expired mantle). Ingesting Thorium after handling a mantle and preparing food is bad for obvious reasons.
Good video otherwise, thanks!
