Back to Wax Top Does that mean I’m safe as long as my wax is under its flash point?
• No. Waxes should not be heated to over 215oF for safety reasons. Just because your wax may have a flash point of say 400oF doesn’t mean you want to heat it to that temperature. For one thing, it will smell awful and start to smoke and before you know it, POOF! your kitchen is on fire. Besides, most pouring temperatures are below 200oF.
