 It smells really nasty. It's like animal nasty. I strained it, then I started dipping the wicks into it. You're dipping, you're dipping. You have to let the fat dry, then you have to dip the wicks some more. More dipping. It was maybe, I don't know, 45 minutes or so of dipping. Dip, dip. I got kind of dip crazy in there. Dip, dip.
