    UCO candle light neoprene cover.

    My daughter was throwing out an old neoprene 7” tablet cover so I snaffled it to recycle into a cover for my UCO candle light.

    Not bad for nothing except ten minutes of my time!

    Reckon I saved myself about £12. The original like the one in the first pic go for about £2 on fleabay including postage.













    If there are no women around and a man says something, is he still wrong?

    Nice job Thumbcrusher ... Got myself some similar neoprene covers at the local bootfair.

    Thinking the larger one will make good pot cosies for my MSR Quick two cookset

    and the smaller one a cosie for my solo cookset ...

    It'll be a smaller and neater package than the metalized bubble wrap stuff I have been using ...

    Hope to post pics when the jobs done ...

    Cheers atb Whistle

    Cool cheers, so no sewing involved?
    Iv got some Velcro at home so may be nice to put a bit of that on there to keep it closed

    No sewing required mate and to be honest when you tuck the flap in it goes round the lantern a bit and doesnt come out so i don't think you would need velcro.
