Brenda (OH) Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I got a sample of the Spicey Apples & Peaches from TCS test burning in a square mason using a 50/50 blend, 8% load and a 60z wick. I used a orange color block and a smear of liquid brown. The candle is gorgous and the scent throw is awesome - awesome - awesome but it is struggling on my wick choice. Is this scent a "wicker upper"? I cringe at using a 62z since they typically smoke badly for me. Just curious if I should back off on the fragrance load. . . I want this fragrance oil to work. Does anyone have any experience with this oil that can help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesweet Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I *just* lit a tester in this fragrance so I'll post back in a few hours and let you know my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks so much! I'll look for your test results a bit later. This scent is awesome !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes, it is a wicker upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks Sliver - I lit my tester again today without trimming since I thought maybe I trimmed to short for the first burn. If it struggles today, I will try the 62z and see how it does. Thanks again ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesweet Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Definitely a wicker-upper <----love that It almost had a full melt pool except for one little sliver but 5 hours is much too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I gave up on my 2nd burn using a 60z after 6 hours. I pulled it and replaced with a 62z. I'll be re-lighting it soon to see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I gave up on my 2nd burn using a 60z after 6 hours. I pulled it and replaced with a 62z. I'll be re-lighting it soon to see how it does. Try double wicking smaller than a 60z if you get smoke with 1-62z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
