This needs to be adhered to as every scent has a temperature at which it will start to vaporise and evaporate. If the fragrance is added to the wax when its temperature is above the required flash point you will effectively release all the scent at this stage and therefore your candle when made will have no fragrance to give off. Please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/guides\/how-to-use-fragrance-oils\/?wmc-currency=EUR#flashpoints\">Fragrance Flash Point<\/a> section where these are listed for each scent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Ideal pouring temperature;<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>KeraWax 4600 Paraffin Pillar Wax \u2013 55-60\u00b0C<\/li>\r\n<li>KeraWax 4105 Paraffin Container Wax \u2013 55-60\u00b0C<\/li>\r\n<li>KeraSoy 4130 Container Wax \u2013 55\u00b0C<\/li>\r\n<li>KeraSoy 4120 Pillar \u2013 55\u00b0C<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This can vary if you are trying to achieve certain effects in the appearance of your candle when cooling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The perfect room temperature for making and cooling candles is 22\u00b0C, you will want to try and keep a steady room temperature throughout as this can affect the final results of your candle. For <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/pbf-representative-example\">example<\/a>, if the temperature rapidly decreases whilst the candle is cooling this will cause the wax to shrink and thus pulling away from the container edge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We would also recommend that heating the container prior to pouring in your wax is advised as this will help your wax to <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/candle-making-supplies\/glitters\/lake-blue-biodegradable\">cool<\/a> slowly increasing the chances of this adhering properly to the container edge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>*These are <a href=\"https:\/\/cosyowl.com\/en_ie\/guides\/using-cotton-wicks-with-soyaluna-container-wax-recommendations\">recommendations<\/a> and a lot of candle making is experimenting to find what works best for you*<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Follow us on social media and tag us in your creations.
