Get Lit: DIY Wine Bottle Torch J. Paris Designs

I made these a few months ago. Look really cool mounted to fence along my patio. A couple of things that are problematic:
-Teflon tape burns up after first use, which then allows water to get in the bottle during rain. The water does not float or sink in the oil, rather it infuses almost.
-Clear bottles do not work. I don't know if it's the UV light from teh sun or what, but the citronella oil/tiki oil gets cloudy and funky very fast and will not burn.
-The wicks do not touch the bottom nor do they get fully immersed in oil, which causes them to dry out and they must be flipped to be able to burn.

Next time I would use short bottles such as half bottle champagne or even (if I can get my hands on 5-6) hendricks gin bottles, so that the light doesnt cause a problem and the wick is fully immersed.
