The exact temperature may vary depending on additives and should be determined through testing. Pouring temperatures can vary depending on: Container type and size Fragrance oil used Dye concentration Desired candle finish and appearance Fragrance oil should be added and mixed immediately before pouring to preserve fragrance integrity and improve scent throw.
