How do you make a homemade wick?

Is lighting a candles wick with a match a conduction and convection?
it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.
