classylady71118 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ok, I want to get an early jump on the testing of some Christmas scents and I'm starting with Christmas Splendor. I bought 1 oz from Nature's Garden and 1 oz from the Candle Source. My question is..... because of the spice's in it do you think I need to start with wicking up from my standard size wick? AND I will be testing and adding other Christmas scents, soooooo it would be SO GREAT, IF some of you seasoned chandler's could chime in on some of the Christmas scents and supplier's you had to wick up on to help me with a starting point?TIA,Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Last year I tested NG's Christmas Splendor, but could not get the wicking right ... after several different sizes, I finally stopped frustrating myself and ordered it from JS (I had to wick up 2 sizes). Since I already order a few fall/holiday scents from The Candle Source, I might try their's this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGirl Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I wick it with a 51z in 4627 and 16 zo jelly jar. Burns lovely and smells yummy! I can't wait to start pouring the fall & winter scents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I use soy and use the CD14 just like all my other scents, throws great. A best seller during the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I use soy (100%) and normally do a CD 14 in my jars, but with this one, I have to use CD 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classylady71118 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 So far testing from The Candle Source I've wicked up from a RRD-47 to a RRD-50 and there's bit of hang up around the container, I will burn a bit more to see if it catches up. Thanks SO much for ALL your advice!Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm also testing Candle Source 'Christmas Splendor' and I'm not having luck. Weak and fuel smell. I'm using IGI 4794 mixed about half with Green Leaf 70/30 in votives, 36-24-24 zinc wicks. I just made a second batch with 1 oz FO / lb thinking that maybe I overdid the FO in the original batch (but my notes on the original batch are on my desk at work at this moment). I'm melting that original batch down to tarts, and it seems fine for that. Plenty strong, no fuel smell, so the problem is when I add flame.I'm thinking this is not the best 'Christmas Splendor' out there? Any recommendations?Edit: found this thread about 'Christmas Splendor', but I'd still welcome current recommendations as it's kind of old:http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39788&highlight=christmas+splendorDarbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
