Oil lamps

Hello there I don't think this post fits the community, but I couldn't find a better place to post this, so sorry in advance

I'm trying to make a basic oil lamp, as a fun project, with stuff I have laying around, but I'm concerned about the glass blowing up and setting everything on fire.

Can I use any type of glass, or do I need something heat resistant?

Can I use rapeseed oil in it?

Can I use jute string for the knot?

I already had something figured out, had it burning for a few minutes, and everything seemed alright, the glass seemingly didn't heat up, it was completely cold to the touch

Any help will be great

Thanks in advance
