Rebuilding my new Cataract lathe, and the capialry wicks are all dried up and brittle from oil that turned to varnish. What kind of felt or wool material can I use for the two wicks inside? I have some green felt of unknown type, can I use it just for now to run the lathe for short periods?
For reference, it's a total loss oil system with cast iron bearings and a "hardened ball bearing steel spindle".
