Back to Wax Top Ok, what is a pouring temperature? Where do I find it?
• Pouring temperatures are just what it says. The temperature of the wax you pour to make your candles. Now, depending on the wax, pour temps can be as high as 190oF or as low as 135oF. Why the range? Well pouring temps are very tricky. It depends on the type of wax you use and the different type of effects you can create based on how hot or cold you pour your wax. It also can vary due to the weather, how hot or cold your work area is and how much time you need to play with the wax to get the right color. If you are just beginning, I suggest that you follow the manufacturer’s directions on your pouring temperatures. You can find pour temps on your supplier’s site or even the manufacturer’s if your supplier doesn’t have it listed.
