Hi all
When reading older posts the general impression is that Peerless Mantles are the best - however I find these quite hard to come by.. ?? Most of the shops I can find are in the US and will not ship to europe.
So my question is: Are the thorium mantles here from the Pelam shop just as good? 
Thank you in advance.

do they have thorium-mantles ? not only thorium-free ones ?
in my humble opinion, modern pelam mantles are not suitable for pressure lamps, because they are to small and to fragile.
i would suggest, in case you can´t get peerles mantles, luxor mantles or older original petromax mantles.
hi casper,
i´m sorry, i checked with the shop and you are right.
i presume the article th-500 is a older produkt, like NOS, which i meant with the older original mantles.
i didn´t knew, that they sell them here in the shop.
these are in paper wrapping, not in pvc bags.
you can use them, but be careful, as they are radioactive. you have handle them safe, especially when they are burnt to ash.
Hi Casper,
the 40+ mantles from Pelam also contain Thorium, and most of older mantles wrapped in paper are radioactive.
