sharyl55 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm testing some Valentine candles in wine glasses using 51z wicks and J223 / soy. Everything is fine with the Bouquet of Roses, Jasmine, and Country Garden but I'm having hang ups with Peaks Pink Sugar. This didn't seem like a 'heavy' FO so now I'm wondering if I got the wicks mixed up somehow. Just wondering if anyone else has had to wick up for this FO.

Glowlite Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah I have to wick up on this one. Its one of my worst ones. I damn near gave up on it in my jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well crap. :undecided I wasn't too worried since it wasn't a vanilla or cinnamon so I attached the darn wick. Guess it goes into the oven to get melted down. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well now I didn't have to wick up Perhaps it's different for various companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well now I didn't have to wick up Perhaps it's different for various companies.I use peaks and my jars are the only ones I have to wick up but with my votives and pillars I don't. Strange huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 That it is, but I haven't tried it in jars yet. Soooooooo ... guess I better lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 That is weird - I've never had any problem with Pink Sugar - I actually just had one lit the other day and the scent throw was just as good as any of my others and I didn't need to wick up. It's kind of like buying 2 pairs of jeans at the same time, by the same brand, in the same size, and one fits better than the other. Go figure.

cindym Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I use Peaks in jar candles no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 I made some Peaks Pink Sugar flower pot votives last night. Going to start testing with my std. 44z to see if that works. Will try a low smoke 21z on the wine glass to see if that is enough. Just surprised me that the 51z didn't work. Love the cold and hot throw of this FO.

maryann Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I use MC's type, and their's has vanilla in it. I've only tried in flower pots w/ 51C/100% soy, it didn't burn that great so I need to wick up from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvcandlecrazy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well this is my favorite oil and I have never had any problem with it and I have poured it in all kinds of containers, I have tried the heart dish from walmart, wine glasses, jelly jars and never had to wick up~but it wasn't Peaks FO. so that might be different??? I use Pink sugar for everything from candles to soap~body butter~lotion~body spray~room spray~wax dipped animals and even the ornies you make from the aroma beads~my customers love this scent as much as I do:yay: .Sue Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnmyer Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I love this scent and I think the best one out there is from ICS. I have no problems wicking this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I get mine from ICS too and have never had to wick up on it either. While it turns really dark in soap, it holds its scent well and smells wonderful. It's a perfect one for doing a blind swirl ( I learned that trick (blind swirling) from Sara! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
