CSI materials for round 1 of the ladder — three rungs × five Salsa jars · CSI live pricing, October 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Is there one right pour temperature? No — there is a window. Its edges come from your own ladder in your jar.

Which temperatures do I test? Only the wax page's own figures. For Chunks: 70, 75 and 80°C (page steps 70–80°C, spec table 75–80°C).

How do I pick the setpoint? The middle of the window — then confirm your actual pour spread fits inside it.

What does it cost? ₹3,396.02 for round 1; all three rounds at most ₹11,444.88. See the kits.
The short answer
Answer: Find a window, not a number: the lowest pour temperature where every jar passes on the glass up to the highest where every top passes. Set the middle, and check your process can hold it.
Why: Wet spots are commonly linked to glass much colder than the wax; tops are commonly smoother from a cooler pour. The two pull in opposite directions, so the answer is an overlap.
Method: Round 1: 70, 75, 80°C × five Salsa jars of Chunks. Round 2: half-steps at the edges. Round 3: 20 jars at the setpoint on another day, recording every actual pour temperature.

Straight answer
How do I find a pouring temperature that gives both good jar adhesion and commercially acceptable candle tops?
Look for a window, not a single number, and find it with a short ladder. Adhesion commonly improves as the pour gets hotter; tops commonly improve as it gets cooler. Pour three rungs inside your wax page's own figures — for Chunks, whose page gives 70–80°C in its steps and 75–80°C in its spec table, that is 70, 75 and 80°C — five 200 ml Salsa Glass Jars each, from one melt, with the glass prepared identically. Score sides and tops on house scales at 48 hours and 7 days. The lower edge is the lowest rung where every jar passes on the glass; the upper edge is the highest where every top passes. If they overlap, refine the edges with half-steps, set the middle as your setpoint, and pour 20 jars there on another day recording every actual temperature: your pour spread must be narrower than the window. If they do not overlap, temperature alone cannot do both — warm the glass for the sides instead. Round one is ₹3,396.02 in CSI materials.
One line: ladder the page's own range, read edges from every jar, set the middle, and make sure your bench can hold it.
A pour temperature that suits both the glass and the top is a window, not a number — and you find it with a ladder. Round one here is three rungs, five 200 ml Salsa Glass Jars each, poured with Luxury Soy Wax Chunks inside its own page figures, for ₹3,396.02 in CSI materials.

Find a window, not a number — with a three-rung ladder

Adhesion improves as you go hotter. Tops improve as you go cooler. Where they overlap is the only temperature worth writing down.

Two faults pull your pour temperature in opposite directions. Wet spots are commonly linked to wax meeting glass that is much colder than it, so in many jars adhesion improves as the pour gets hotter. Tops are commonly reported to set flatter and smoother as the pour gets cooler, because there is less heat to lose and less sinking at the wick. Somewhere between the two there may be a band where both pass. That band — the pour window — is what you are looking for. A single "perfect temperature" from a forum or a friend is someone else's window in someone else's jar. Pour temperature is the fourth suspect on the section's diagnosis order, after cleanliness and glass temperature, so clear those first if you have not.

The ladder method finds it in two short rounds. Round one pours three rungs spaced evenly across the wax page's own figures. You read the lowest rung that passes on the glass and the highest rung that passes on top. If those overlap, the window lies between them, and round two refines its edges with half-steps. Then a confirmation round on another day pours twenty jars at the middle of the window and checks one thing that is easy to forget: whether your bench can actually hold a temperature that precisely.

The rungs come from CSI's own product page for Luxury Soy Wax Chunks. Its spec table gives a pour temperature of 75–80°C, and its step list shows 70–80°C, with fragrance added at 80–90°C. So this ladder runs 70, 75 and 80°C — nothing outside the page's figures. The 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar has no published hot-pour limit; follow the jar supplier's guidance, and at 80°C you are well within what CSI's own Clear 150 g jar page allows ("safe for hot pour up to 85°C").

How to read a ladder · the window is wherever YOUR results put it — this table shows the logic, not a result for any wax
What the two edges mean
Edge Found by What sets it What moves it
Lower edge The lowest rung where every jar passes your sides line Glass adhesion Warmer glass, slower cooling, cleaner glass can move it down
Upper edge The highest rung where every jar passes your top line Top finish Even, sheltered cooling can move it up
Window Lower edge to upper edge Both Wider is better — it tolerates real-life drift
Setpoint The middle of the window Margin both ways Re-check when season, jar or wax lot changes
No overlap Lower edge above upper edge Temperature cannot do both Split the job: warm glass for the sides — balancing tops and adhesion
The CSI principle
A setpoint is only as good as the window around it.
If your pour wanders by more than the window is wide, some of every batch will fail no matter what number is on the SOP.

Round 1: three rungs across the page's range

The example is a maker pouring Blue Ocean at 8% in Luxury Soy Wax Chunks into the 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar. The Salsa's 200 ml is brim volume; its fill weight is not published, so this page uses an illustrative 160 g candle — 12.8 g of oil and 147.2 g of wax. Weigh your own fill. Glass is held in one state for every rung — the way you prepare it now, room temperature or warmed — because this ladder tests the wax temperature only.

1
Take 15 jars from one carton and prepare them identicallyClean every jar the same way, gloves on, measured dry time. Number the bases 01–15: 01–05 for 70°C, 06–10 for 75°C, 11–15 for 80°C. Keep all jars in the same place so the glass is at the same temperature for every rung; record it.
2
Melt once, add oil at the page's addition temperatureOne melt from one bag; oil added at 80–90°C and stirred for the page's 2 minutes. Every rung gets the same oil at the same time.
3
Pour 80°C first, then let the jug fallPour 11–15 at 80°C, then wait for the jug to fall and pour 06–10 at 75°C, then 01–05 at 70°C. Read the thermometer at every jar and write the actual figure. Pouring in temperature order is unavoidable with one jug, so note the clock time of every pour and keep the room still; or split the melt into three pre-weighed jugs and hold each at its rung.
4
Fix wicks identically and cool togetherSame sticker, same centring device, one tray, even spacing, off cold stone, away from AC. No covering or moving until the last jar is firm.
5
Score sides and tops at 48 hours and 7 daysFour marked sides through the glass against a plain light background, and the top from directly above. Labelled example checkpoints; pouring too hot explains why a 30-day check is worth adding for the hottest rung.

Five jars per rung, because the Salsa jar comes in packs of five and because a window edge is only real if every jar at that rung passes — three jars make that too easy to pass by luck. If a rung has four passes and one failure, it is not an edge yet; treat it as "borderline" and include it in round two.

Hold the glass constant, or the ladder lies
If the 80°C jars wait on a cold bench while you pour, and the 70°C jars wait less, the rungs differ in glass temperature as well as wax temperature. Keep every jar in the same place until its turn, and if you warm your glass in production, warm it the same way for every rung — cold glass is a variable in its own right. Separating wax heat from glass heat is the test for which of the two is doing the work.
The number on the SOP is the middle of the window. The width of the window is what keeps a busy Saturday from producing rejects.

The ladder sheet

Every jar at a rung must pass for that rung to count as an edge.
Example house scales: sides 0–4 (0 none … 4 more than a quarter of the wall) · top 0–3 (0 smooth … 3 needs repair) · pass line written before pouring, e.g. sides ≤1 and top ≤1 at 7 days
Round 1 — one line per jar
Jar Rung Wax °C actual Clock time Sides 48 h / 7 d Top 48 h / 7 d Passes sides? Passes top?
01–05 70°C ___ each ___ 0–4 / 0–4 0–3 / 0–3 __ of 5 __ of 5
06–10 75°C ___ each ___ __ of 5 __ of 5
11–15 80°C ___ each ___ __ of 5 __ of 5
Edges Lower edge: lowest rung with 5 of 5 Upper edge: highest rung with 5 of 5

Write the rung, not the target, from what the thermometer showed: if your "75°C" jars were really 73–76°C, put that range on the sheet. It is the first measurement of your process spread, which you will need in the confirmation round.

Round 2: refine the edges, then confirm on another day

Round one gives you edges to the nearest 5°C. That is coarse. If the lower edge is 75°C and the upper edge is 80°C, the window could be almost five degrees wide or almost nothing. Round two pours the half-steps — for that example, 72.5°C and 77.5°C — plus the borderline rung again, five jars each, to see how far each edge really reaches. It is the same kit size as round one (₹3,396.02 in CSI materials), and every rung stays inside the page's 70–80°C figures.

Then the confirmation round. Pour 20 jars at the middle of the window on a different day, as production would — same glass preparation, same tray, same room — and record the actual temperature of every pour. Two things must be true: every jar passes both lines, and the spread of your actual pour temperatures (highest minus lowest) is narrower than the window. If the window is four degrees wide and your jug wandered by five, some of every production batch will fall outside it. That is a process problem, not a wax problem — a warmer jug, smaller pour batches or a wax melter that holds temperature fix it.

Confirmation template · fill in from your rounds · the arithmetic is the point, not any example result
Does your process fit the window?
Measure How you get it Your figure Rule
Lower edge (°C) Lowest rung with all jars passing sides ____ —
Upper edge (°C) Highest rung with all jars passing top ____ Must be ≥ lower edge
Window width (°C) Upper edge − lower edge ____ Wider is safer
Setpoint (°C) (Lower + upper) ÷ 2 ____ Goes on the SOP
Your pour spread (°C) Highest − lowest actual reading across 20 confirmation pours ____ Must be smaller than the window width
Margin each side (°C) (Window − spread) ÷ 2 ____ Positive = your process fits
The common mistake: choosing the rung with the best single jar. One beautiful candle at 77.5°C gets the setting named after it, and the next batch spots. A window edge is defined by every jar at the rung passing, and a setpoint by being in the middle, not at the edge. Fix: read edges from the "5 of 5" columns only, set the middle, and confirm it with twenty pours on another day.

What hitting the window is worth

Material cost of one candle in this example at production rates: 147.2 g of Chunks at the 5 kg rate (₹599.00 a kilo) is ₹88.17; 12.8 g of Blue Ocean at the 1 kg rate (₹4.96 a gram) is ₹63.44; the Eco Thin C1 wick is ₹5.90 as the example wick line; a Salsa jar from the 100-pack is ₹29.50. That is ₹187.01 a candle before labour, packaging, freight and GST.

Template · miss rates are examples, not results — read your own from the confirmation round · materials ₹187.01 a candle
What pours outside the window cost per 100 candles
Share of pours that fail (example) Materials lost per 100 candles Cost per acceptable candle
5% ₹935.05 ₹196.85
10% ₹1,870.10 ₹207.79
20% ₹3,740.19 ₹233.76

Staying in the window has a cost too. The commonest is waiting: oil goes in at 80–90°C and the wax has to come down into the window before you pour. As an example, an extra 10 minutes of waiting on a 20-jar jug at an example ₹120.00 an hour is ₹1.00 a candle — far less than one reject in twenty. Replace every example with your own. If waiting is the bottleneck, a second jug or a melter that holds temperature is cheaper than rejects; CSI lists a Mini Electric Wax Melter at ₹2,360.00 and a Candle Wax Pouring Jug at ₹531.00. Melter hold accuracy is not published; check it against your thermometer before you rely on it.

Argued against our own interest, plainly. If round one shows no overlap — the sides need a hotter rung than the top can bear — the tempting conclusion is "the wax is wrong, buy another". Not yet. No overlap means temperature alone cannot do both jobs; warm glass for the sides and a cooler pour for the top often can. Chunks, CSI 464 and CSI 468 all claim excellent glass adhesion on their pages, so no claim predicts which would give you a wider window. Try the two-lever split before you try a wax.

The three totals are each priced as a separate order from listed packs, so the sum is a ceiling: wax and oil left over from one round usually cover part of the next.

The decision rule

Apply it from the top and stop at the first line that is true.

Working decision rule · your house pass lines, written before pouring
From the ladder to a setpoint — or to a different lever
If this is true after the confirmation round Buy And change
Window found, every jar passes, spread fits Nothing Setpoint ± margin on the SOP; re-check each season
Window found, but spread wider than the window Nothing from CSI necessarily — a second jug or a melter only if waiting is the cause Tighten the pour process, then repeat the confirmation
No overlap in round 1 Nothing yet Split the job: warm glass for sides, cooler pour for tops (7335)
No rung passes sides at all Nothing yet Cleaning, cooling position and the jar before wax
All of those cleared 500 g bags of a second CSI wax to ladder it the same way A wax change re-opens wick, load, cure and throw

When the window is found, it belongs to this wax in this jar with this glass preparation. A new jar gets its own ladder — glass thickness and pour conditions and testing each new vessel explain why — and the jar-preparation and pouring SOP shows how to write the setpoint and its tolerance so every shift hits it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best pouring temperature for soy wax in glass jars?
There is no single best figure. Start from your wax page — Chunks gives 75–80°C in its spec table and 70–80°C in its steps — and ladder it in your own jar to find the window where both sides and top pass.
How do I stop sinkholes without getting wet spots?
Find the overlap: the lowest pour that keeps the glass clean and the highest that keeps the top flat. If there is none, warm the glass and pour at the cooler end. Balancing tops and adhesion shows the split.
How accurate does my pour temperature need to be?
Narrower than your window. Record the actual temperature of twenty production pours; if the spread is wider than the window, tighten the process before trusting the setpoint.
How many test candles do I need to find a pour temperature?
Five per rung in this method: 15 for round one, 15 for the half-steps and 20 to confirm. Fewer makes it too easy for a rung to pass by luck.
Should the pour temperature change in winter?
The window can move with glass and room temperature. Re-run the confirmation round when the season changes, and record room temperature every batch. Recording room temperature covers it.
Can I pour Chunks at 85°C to fix wet spots?
That is above its page's 75–80°C pour figure (the 80–90°C figure is for adding fragrance). Stay inside the page and get extra heat from the glass instead. Pouring too hot lists the risks.

Non-price figures and assumptions: Load convention: fragrance load is a share of the finished candle (oil = W × L; wax = W × (1 − L)). Illustrative candle: 160 g in the 200 ml Salsa jar (brim volume; fill not published — weigh a test pour) at 8%: 12.8 g oil + 147.2 g wax. Rungs 70, 75 and 80°C (Chunks page steps 70–80°C, spec table 75–80°C) and half-steps between them. Working practices: 5 jars per rung, a 20-jar confirmation round, 5% pour loss, photo checkpoints at 48 hours and 7 days, house scales sides 0–4 and tops 0–3, edges read only from rungs where every jar passes. Example figures: 5%, 10% and 20% miss rates, 10 minutes waiting per 20-jar jug, ₹120.00 an hour labour. Mini Electric Wax Melter ₹2,360.00 and Candle Wax Pouring Jug ₹531.00 are CSI catalogue prices (pulled 24–25 September 2026). Per-candle cost uses the Chunks 5 kg rate, the Blue Ocean 1 kg rate, the Salsa 100-pack rate and the Eco Thin C1 example wick at ₹5.90. What CSI's product pages state (quoted, not CSI test results): Luxury Soy Wax Chunks — fragrance load up to 13%, fragrance addition 80–90°C, pour 75–80°C in the spec table (the step list also shows 70–80°C), stir 2 minutes, cure at least 48 hours, ideally 1–2 weeks, and "excellent adhesion to glass and container surfaces"; Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 — fragrance load up to 10%, an 80–90°C melt/pour working range, single-pour, "excellent glass adhesion"; Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 — melting point 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C, fragrance load up to 13%, "formulated for excellent glass adhesion"; Natural Soy Pearl — no temperature, fragrance ceiling or adhesion statement published; Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram) — fill approximately 150 g, "safe for hot pour up to 85°C", thick-walled clear glass (thickness in mm not published); Borosilicate 600 g jar — "ideal for 500–600 g wax fill" and a "smooth inner surface for … clean adhesion" claim. All three adhesion claims are the same claim, so they rank nothing. CSI publishes no adhesion, wet-spot, shrinkage or contraction data for any wax, oil, dye or jar, no glass thickness or internal diameter for any jar, no hot-pour limit except the Clear 150 g jar's 85°C, no wick size for any jar, and no industry acceptance threshold for wet spots exists — every acceptance line on this page is a labelled house standard. Wet-spot mechanisms (contraction as wax cools, cold glass, uneven cooling, residues on glass) are general candle-making knowledge, described as commonly reported, not measured by CSI. Material costs exclude labour, packaging, freight and GST. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November.
