How We Calculate This
This reference calculator provides temperature guidelines for popular candle waxes. Three key temperatures for each wax:
- Melting point: temperature at which solid wax becomes liquid
- Add fragrance: when the wax is clear and ready for fragrance oil
- Pour temperature: optimal temperature for pouring into containers
Advanced Options let you adjust pour temperature for room conditions and container type, and calculate the exact fragrance oil weight for your batch size.
Always use a thermometer and follow your specific wax manufacturer's recommendations.
