Belinda Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have Fillmore's but don't have Daystars. All I can tell you is it's good. It smells a lot like Aztec's iced lemon cookie. I can send you a sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Two weeks cure time is up and I am LOVING my Iced Lemon Biscotti candle (Fillmore). I kept thinking my husband was baking something. Duh! lol Can't wait to see how it burns to the bottom, and I can pour for spring sale. Using 464, pint canning jar, with 790 Premier wick.

Goldie Goldie how much FO are you adding ... I just did a test burn in a small Weck jar with 464 + cd 8 wick. burning perfectly but not much of a HT ???? Also, may I ask what temp tour heating to - adding FO to ? Im so bummed since it does so well in my para soy for wax melts. I have wick samples of Premiers - maybe I'll try those as well. BTW it had a 12 day cure. Thanks Goldie Edited November 8, 2016 by Moonstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I use 7% for all my candles; one of these days I will start retesting at 6%. Did you wait two weeks? I have a friend who doesn't even light the candle and can smell it in the room it is placed in. Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie 12 days ... thats what I don't like about the 464 - very long cure is the pint jar the 16 oz jar - Im bad with the pint - half pint sizes to ounces lol ! I think for the heck of it though I might test the premiers. Whats your rule of thumb on wick sizes with Premiers + 464 as far as jar sizes go ? Thanks !

GoldieMN Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yes, 16-ounce jar is the pint jar; regular not wide mouth. I'm terrible with metric system so always have to go online to convert. I started with 765 & 767 Premiers as that was recommended on a chart for the opening of my jars. They seemed to work until I ran into a fragrance that wouldn't throw. Trappeur suggested I up the wick which I hadn't considered. Duh! So I made my way up to 780, 785, and 790. I only try the last two nowadays. If neither works, I give up on the fragrance. Generally both of those work so I prefer the 785 to keep the heat a bit lower. Although I have to say, my jars never get really hot even after forgetting to blow them out overnight. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone! Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie I like the way you always say what wax and wick and jar you used when ever you are trying out a scent. That is soooo helpful especially when I use the same wax and jars Goldie! Thanks.

Goldie It's one of the only bakery scents I like, must be the lemon. I replaced Bert's with Fillmore's and although not exactly the same, my customers love it and it has a great HT in C3 as well.
