Quick answers — read this first
Should I just pour hotter? Not yet. A hotter pour also heats the glass. Test warm glass at your usual temperature beside the hotter rungs.

How hot can I go? Only inside the wax page's range and the jar's limit. CSI 464's page: 80–90°C. The Yankee jar's limit is not published — confirm it first.

What else can a hotter pour change? Tops, wick position and set time are commonly reported. Score tops on the same sheet. Pouring too hot has the full list.

What does the test cost? ₹2,035.02 in CSI materials for 12 jars. See the kit.
The short answer
Answer: Not simply. A hotter pour heats the glass as well as the wax. Test hotter wax and warmer glass separately; if warm glass at your usual temperature works, you avoid the side effects of a hotter pour.
Why: Cold glass against hot wax is a commonly cited wet-spot contributor. The 'hotter is better' observation can also come from a warmer day, pour order or a different carton.
Method: Four arms × three jars from one carton: 80°C control, 85°C, 90°C (only if the jar limit is confirmed), and 80°C into measured warm glass. One melt, rotating order, one tray; sides and tops scored at pour day, 48 h and 7 days.

Straight answer
My wax adheres better when poured hotter — does that mean I should simply increase pouring temperature?
Not simply — first find out whether it is the hotter wax or the warmer glass doing the work. A hotter pour heats the jar as it goes in, and cold glass against hot wax is one of the most commonly cited causes of wet spots. Your observation may also have come with a warmer day, the first jars of a session or a new carton. Pour 12 jars from one carton in four arms: your usual 80°C into room-temperature glass (control), 85°C, 90°C only if the jar's hot-pour limit is confirmed, and 80°C into glass warmed to a measured, recorded temperature. Stay inside the wax page's range — CSI's page for CSI 464 lists 80–90°C — and inside the jar's limit. One melt, rotating pour order, one tray; score sides and tops at pour day, 48 hours and 7 days. If the warm-glass arm matches the hotter arms, warm the glass and keep your pour temperature. If only hotter wax works, take the lowest passing rung and check tops and wick position. The test is ₹2,035.02 in CSI materials.
One line: separate wax heat from glass heat, stay inside the page range and the jar limit, and choose the cheaper lever.
Before you raise the pour temperature for every candle, prove what the heat is doing. The test on this page is 12 Yankee Glass Jar 130 mls in four arms — three wax temperatures and one warmed-glass arm — for ₹2,035.02 in CSI materials, with your current Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 as the wax throughout.

Not simply — find out what the extra heat is actually doing first

"Hotter adhered better" is an observation. It is not yet a setting.

When a hotter pour gives better glass adhesion, two things changed at once. The wax went into the jar hotter, and the glass got hotter, because hot wax heats the jar it is poured into. Cold glass against hot wax is one of the most commonly cited contributors to wet spots: the wax touching the glass sets first and fastest, and the way it sets there can leave it holding the glass less well. So the improvement you saw may come from the glass, not from the wax temperature itself. If it is the glass, you can get the same benefit by warming the jars and keep pouring where you pour now — which avoids most of what a hotter pour can do to tops, wick position and cooling time.

There is a second reason not to simply turn up the dial: your observation may not be about temperature at all. A hotter pour often happens on a different day, in a different room temperature, from a fresher melt, with the first jars of a session, or from a new carton. Any of those can move adhesion on their own. The four-arm test below holds all of them still and changes temperature in two separate ways — the wax, and the glass — so you know which lever you are pulling before you build it into production.

And there is a hard boundary. A pour-temperature change on this page stays inside the wax page's own range and within the jar's limit. CSI's product page for CSI 464 lists an 80–90°C melt/pour working range. The Yankee 130 ml jar has no published hot-pour limit, so the 90°C rung is only for a maker who has confirmed the jar's limit with the jar supplier — ask CSI on WhatsApp — and otherwise the test runs at 80 and 85°C only. (In CSI's Clear 150 g jar, whose page states "safe for hot pour up to 85°C", CSI 464 pours are limited to 80–85°C for the same reason.)

Why a 'hotter is better' result can mislead · general practice, check each against your own records
Things that travel with a hotter pour
What else changed with the hotter pour How it can improve adhesion on its own How the test removes it
The glass got hotter Warmer glass is commonly described as letting the wax next to it set more gently Arm D warms the glass at the old pour temperature
It was a warmer day or room Warm glass and slower cooling in general All arms poured in one session, room temperature recorded
Those jars were poured first First jars often get the hottest wax and the warmest jug Rotating pour order: A1, B1, C1, D1, A2 …
A different carton or cleaning state Glass residue is its own suspect All jars from one carton, cleaned the same way
A different cooling spot Slower or more even cooling One tray, even spacing, away from AC and cold stone
A fresher melt or different wax bag Lot or handling difference One melt, one bag, one oil bottle
The CSI principle
Change the wax temperature and the glass temperature separately, or you will never know which one you are paying for.
Both look identical through the jar. Only one of them costs you smooth tops.

The four-arm temperature test

The example on this page is a maker pouring Roasted Coffee at 8% in Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 into the Yankee Glass Jar 130 ml. Its 130 ml is brim volume; the fill weight is not published, so this page uses an illustrative 110 g candle — 8.8 g of oil and 101.2 g of wax. Weigh one test pour of your own and replace the figure. Arm A is today's process: 80°C into room-temperature glass. If you pour somewhere else in the range today, that is your control instead.

1
Take 12 jars from one carton, clean them all the same wayNumber the bases 01–12. Clean every jar the same way (an IPA wipe and a full dry, or your current method) — cleanliness is not the question here. Cleaned versus uncleaned jars is the test to run first if you have never cleared it.
2
Warm arm D's glass to a measured, recorded temperatureGlass warmth is a labelled example setting, not a CSI specification. A practical example arm is glass at about 35–45°C, measured — never hotter than the wax you are pouring and never above the jar's limit. CSI does not sell a jar warmer or a surface thermometer; a warming cabinet, oven or heat gun and an infrared thermometer are non-CSI tools, and the pen thermometer measures wax, not glass. Record how you warmed the jars and the glass reading just before pouring.
3
Melt once, add oil once, then hold and stepOne melt of CSI 464 from one bag and one bottle of oil at 8%. Pour arm A and D at 80°C, then let the jug rise to 85°C for arm B, and 90°C for arm C only if you have confirmed the jar's limit. Alternatively split the melt into pre-weighed jugs held at each temperature. Check each pour with the thermometer and write the actual reading — not the target — on the sheet.
4
Pour in rotating orderA1, B1, C1, D1, A2, B2 … so every arm gets jars from the beginning, middle and end of the session. If you have to step the jug temperature upwards, pour all three jars of a rung in one go but alternate them with D and A jars so time-of-session does not line up with temperature.
5
Cool together on one trayEvenly spaced, off cold stone and metal, away from the AC vent and the door. Hotter candles take longer to set; do not move or cover any jar until the last one has set, so nobody's arm gets special treatment.
6
Photograph sides and tops at fixed checkpointsFour marked sides per jar against a plain light background, plus one photo of the top from directly above, at pour day once set, 48 hours and 7 days — labelled example checkpoints. A hotter pour that adheres but needs a second pour on top has not passed.

Three jars per arm is a screen. It shows a big difference and misses a small one. Each extra jar per arm costs about ₹144.96 in materials at the small-pack rates in this example, so the next step after a promising screen is a six-jar decision round of the winning arm against the control (₹2,035.02 in CSI materials for 12 jars), poured on a different day to show the result repeats.

Write down the actual temperature, not the target
A jug set to "85°C" can be 82°C by the third jar. Read the thermometer at the moment of each pour and record it. If the arms overlap — your 85°C jars were really 81–84°C — you have learned that your process cannot hold a 5°C step, which is itself a reason not to rely on a hotter pour in production.
If warm glass at your usual pour temperature does the same job as hotter wax, you have found the cheaper lever.

The scoring sheet — sides and tops together

Score adhesion and the top on the same line, or you will choose a setting that trades one fault for another.

The adhesion scale below is an example house scale; there is no industry standard for wet spots, so the scale and the pass line are yours. The top-finish column uses a second small house scale — 0 smooth and flat, 1 slight texture, 2 visible roughness or a small dip at the wick, 3 a sinkhole, crack or crater that needs a second pour or a heat-gun pass. Score from the jar number before you look up its arm.

Example house scales: adhesion 0 none · 1 one spot smaller than a fingertip · 2 several small or one thumb-size · 3 a tenth to a quarter of the wall · 4 more than a quarter; tops 0–3 as described above
Temperature test — one line per jar
Jar Arm (after scoring) Wax °C actually poured Glass °C (arm D) Sides 48 h Sides 7 days Top 7 days Wick still centred?
01 ___ — 0–4 0–4 0–3 Y / N
02 ___ —
03 ___ —
04 ___ ___
…
12 ___
Arm totals A ___ · B ___ · C ___ · D ___ Range per arm

The wick column is there because a hotter pour keeps the wax liquid for longer, and a wick that is held only by a sticker and a centring device has longer to drift or lean. It is a commonly reported side effect, not a certainty — but if your hottest arm adheres and every wick is off-centre, the setting has not passed. The problems pouring too hot can create goes through every side effect in detail.

Reading the result

Write your pass line before pouring: an example is "an arm passes if every jar scores 0–1 for sides at 7 days and 0–1 for the top". Then read the pattern below. Three jars per arm is a screen; confirm the setting you choose with a six-jar round on another day.

Working interpretation · confirm any production change with a decision round
What each pattern tells you to change
Pattern at 7 days What it suggests What to change
D as good as B (or C); A worse Glass temperature is the lever Keep 80°C; warm the glass to the measured setting that passed
B passes sides and tops; D no better than A Wax temperature matters in this jar Move to 85°C; record it with a tolerance you can actually hold
Only C passes sides, but tops fail Heat helps adhesion and hurts tops in this wax Combine: warmer glass at a lower pour — see balancing tops and adhesion
B, C and D all pass Any heat helps Choose the cheapest to run every day — usually the one with the fewest steps
No arm better than A Your earlier observation was not about temperature Check the change log: day, pour order, carton, cooling position
A passes too The spotty batch had another cause Repeat with the spotted batch's carton and room conditions
Raising the pour temperature for the whole range because one SKU improved. A setting that helps a 110 g candle in a small jar can behave differently in a 600 g jar with thick glass, where the wax holds heat far longer, or in a wax with a different page range. Fix: treat pour temperature as a per-wax, per-jar setting. Test it in each vessel you sell — glass thickness and preheat and testing every new vessel explain how.

What each lever costs you

In materials, pouring hotter costs nothing — the same grams go into the jar. The costs are in time, energy and side effects, and those are yours to measure. To see what is at stake, start with the material cost of one candle in this example at production rates: 101.2 g of CSI 464 at the 5 kg rate (₹507.40 a kilo) is ₹51.35; 8.8 g of Roasted Coffee at the 1 kg rate (₹3.74 a gram) is ₹32.89; the Eco Thin C1 wick is ₹5.90 as the example wick line; the Yankee jar is ₹47.20. That is ₹137.34 a candle, before labour, packaging, freight and GST.

Example 60-candle batch · reject rates are examples standing in for your own test result · materials ₹137.34 a candle
Cost per visually acceptable candle — what a working fix is worth
Process Example reject rate Saleable Materials lost to rejects Cost per acceptable candle
Today (arm A) 20% 48 ₹1,648.12 ₹171.68
Winning arm (B or D) 5% 57 ₹412.03 ₹144.57
Difference per batch +9 ₹1,236.09 ₹27.11

The two winning levers cost different things. A hotter pour costs a few more minutes of heating and, commonly, a longer set before the tray can move — measure it on your bench. Warming the glass costs handling time and a piece of equipment CSI does not sell. As an example, if warming adds 20 seconds of handling a jar at an example ₹120.00 an hour, that is ₹0.67 a jar, or ₹40.00 on a 60-candle batch — against ₹1,236.09 of materials saved in this example. Replace every figure with your own; how to prove preheating is worth the labour does that maths properly.

Argued against our own interest, plainly. If your candles adhere better hotter, the answer that sells the most wax is "switch to a wax that adheres at your normal temperature". We are not going to give it. A wax change re-opens wick, load, cure and throw; a five-degree pour change or a warm-glass step changes none of those. Test the cheap levers in your jar first. CSI 464, Chunks and CSI 468 all make the same adhesion claim on their pages, so the claim cannot choose between them — and you may not need to choose at all.

The decision rule

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

Working decision rule · your house pass line, written before pouring
From the four arms to a setting — and to a purchase only if needed
If this is true at 7 days Buy And change
Arm D passes Nothing from CSI — a warming method you can run every day Keep 80°C; add measured glass warming to the SOP
Arm B passes sides and tops, D does not Nothing Pour at 85°C; set a tolerance your thermometer and jug can hold
Only arm C passes, jar limit confirmed Nothing yet Run the decision round; check tops and wick position closely
Nothing passes, tops good Nothing yet Test cooling position and glass cleanliness — then the jar

Whatever you choose, write it down as a setting with a tolerance — "80–82°C at pour, glass 35–40°C measured" is an example of the shape, not a recommendation — and build it into your jar-preparation and pouring SOP. A setting nobody can reproduce on a cold January morning is not a setting. Preheating jars when wet spots recur and how cold glass affects adhesion cover the glass side in depth.

Frequently asked questions

Does pouring soy wax hotter improve glass adhesion?
It can, and makers commonly report it — but a hotter pour also warms the glass, so test warm glass at your usual temperature beside it. Stay inside the wax page's pour range and the jar's limit.
What temperature should I pour CSI 464 at?
CSI's product page lists an 80–90°C melt/pour working range. In CSI's Clear 150 g jar (hot pour up to 85°C per its page) that means 80–85°C. For other jars, confirm the hot-pour limit with the jar supplier.
Is it better to preheat jars or pour hotter?
Test both. If warm glass at your usual pour temperature gives the same adhesion, it usually avoids the commonly reported side effects of hotter wax on tops and wick position. The preheating post covers it in depth.
Why do my first candles of a batch have better adhesion?
First jars often get the hottest wax and the warmest jug, and may be poured before the room cools. Rotate pour order across arms in any test so time-of-session does not line up with your variable.
Can a hotter pour cause sinkholes or rough tops?
It is commonly reported, and it varies by wax. Score tops on the same sheet as adhesion. Balancing tops and adhesion and finding one temperature for both cover the trade-off.
How much hotter should I pour to fix wet spots?
There is no published figure. Test a small ladder inside the wax page's range — e.g. 80, 85, 90°C for CSI 464 where the jar allows — and choose the lowest rung that passes your house line.

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: 110 g in the Yankee 130 ml jar (130 ml is brim volume; fill not published — weigh a test pour) at 8%: 8.8 g oil + 101.2 g wax. Temperature rungs 80, 85 and 90°C are inside CSI 464's page range; the 90°C rung requires a confirmed jar limit. Glass warmed to about 35–45°C is a labelled example setting, measured and recorded, never hotter than the pour or the jar's limit. Working practices: 3 jars per arm for a screen, 6 for a decision round, rotating pour order, 5% pour loss, photo checkpoints at pour day, 48 hours and 7 days, house scales for sides (0–4) and tops (0–3). Example figures: 20% and 5% reject rates on a 60-candle batch, 20 seconds of warming, ₹120.00 an hour labour. Per-candle cost uses the CSI 464 5 kg rate, the Roasted Coffee 1 kg rate, the single Yankee jar price 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.
