Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us. For Insta‑Clip&reg; 2 #95 Mantles, you&rsquo;ll want to &ldquo;burn in&rdquo; the mantle before using your lantern. It&rsquo;s a quick step that helps the mantle form its proper shape. To do this, clip the mantle in place, then carefully ignite the bottom of it with a match or lighter while the lantern is off. It will shrink, turn white, and form a delicate ash shell. Once it&rsquo;s fully burned in and cooled, you can light the lantern normally. Just avoid touching the mantle afterward, as it becomes very fragile once ashed. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Coleman&reg; Consumer Care

Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry. The mantles blend contained thorium as the primary ingredient, and the material was then dried, cut to length, one side sewn, top laced, and then packaged.
