I get mine off the internet, sometimes lucky and get a good reel, mostly unlucky. If it is not so good I have a tin of flux from, I think Poland. I drag the wick through the flux held down with a dry hot iron, then wind it back onto the spool. Makes rubbish into excellent wick to use over the next few weeks.
