An internally fed rotating wick for applying release liquid to a fixing roller surface includes a disposable feed tube having small apertures through which the liquid can pass. A strip of soft porous capillary fabric is wound around the feed tube and contacts the feed tube on its inside and is contactable with the roller surface on its outside. The feed tube itself has relatively thick walls and large internal diameter. The apertures in the feed tube are preferably in the form of very narrow slits having a long dimension either parallel to or slanted with respect to the wick axis. In one embodiment, the feed tube has a closed end and means on the opposite end for attaching to a liquid feed means.
