CSI materials for the round 2 battery if CSI 464 was your heat winner (₹6,577.40 if Chunks was) · Bergamot Amber · CSI live pricing, re-checked 1 October 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Which wax should I choose — throw or heat? Neither yet. First check both gaps are real, then try to close each one. Choose between the two waxes at their best realistic formulas.

Which extra tests? Repeatability, a load ladder on the heat winner (never above its ceiling), a wick and cure check, a packaging/load check on the throw winner, and throw after heat.

Why throw after heat? Summer customers light candles that have already travelled. Heat can change how a candle throws, so a fresh-candle throw win may not survive the route.

What does round 2 cost? ₹6,260.22 if CSI 464 was the heat winner, ₹6,577.40 if Chunks was. See the priced kits.
The short answer
Answer: Run five more tests: a repeatability check on both results, a load ladder and wick check on the heat winner, a packaging and lower-load check on the throw winner, and a blind throw-after-heat comparison at each wax's final formula. Then compare cost per saleable candle.
Why: Round 1 tested one formula. Either gap may be noise, or closable by load, wick, cure or packaging. The throw that matters is the throw after transit.
Rule: If nothing closes, the heat winner wins: a failed parcel is a refund; a slightly weaker throw is still a sale. Summer as a gate.

Split result? Try to close each gap before you choose Wax T won hot throw · Wax H survived heat · Round 2 asks which gap can be closed, and at what cost WAX T · better hot throw gap to close: heat WAX H · survived heat better gap to close: throw FIRST, FOR BOTH: repeatability check 3 more candles per wax for heat and for blind throw — is each gap bigger than the spread between candles? 1 · Full shipper on the validated profile 2 · Dispatch timing on hot routes 3 · One point less oil, re-check throw 4 · Cure age at dispatch 1 · Load ladder inside its ceiling 2 · Every ladder step back through heat 3 · Wick bracket for a full pool 4 · Longer cure checkpoint Final comparison: THROW AFTER HEAT, at each wax's final formula then cost per saleable candle — more oil, more wick, fewer rejects all count Example pair: Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (ceiling 13%) and CSI 464 (ceiling 10%) — either could be T or H in your test.
After a split result, both gaps get a repeatability check first. The heat winner then tries to close its throw gap (load ladder inside its ceiling, wick, cure); the throw winner tries to close its heat gap (full shipper on the validated profile, dispatch timing, one point less oil, cure age at dispatch). The final comparison is throw after heat at each wax's final formula, then cost per saleable candle. Either example wax could be T or H.

Straight answer
One soy wax has better hot throw but another survives heat better — which additional tests should I run before choosing my commercial wax?
Run five more tests that try to close each gap, then compare the two waxes at their best formulas. (1) Repeatability: three more candles per wax for heat and three for blind throw with two or more judges — is either gap bigger than the spread between candles? (2) Load ladder on the heat winner, never above its published ceiling (CSI 464 up to 10%, Chunks up to 13%), with every step sent back through heat. (3) Wick and cure: a narrow pool or an early burn can look like weak throw. (4) Packaging and one point less oil on the throw winner — some heat gaps close in the parcel. (5) Throw after heat: burn both waxes blind after your heat profile, because that is the candle a summer customer lights. Then compare cost per saleable candle, counting extra oil and heat rejects. If nothing closes, the heat winner wins. The example pair is Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464; round 2 costs ₹6,260.22 or ₹6,577.40 in CSI materials depending on which won heat. CSI publishes no throw or heat-survival data.
One line: close each gap as far as it honestly closes, then choose between two finished candles.
Round 2 on this page — repeat both results, run a load ladder on the heat winner inside its ceiling, and score throw after heat — uses Bergamot Amber in 200 g White Matte jars with Cotton Braided wicks. With Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 as the example pair it costs ₹6,260.22 if CSI 464 was your heat winner, or ₹6,577.40 if Chunks was.

Run five more tests — each one tries to close a gap

A split result is not a tie. It is two questions: can the heat winner learn to throw, and can the throw winner learn to travel?

Your first comparison gave an awkward answer: one wax smelled stronger in the room, the other came out of the heat test looking better. Most makers then pick whichever result they care about more and move on. That is a coin toss with extra steps, because both results came from one formula, one wick and one cure age — the exact conditions under which either wax was most likely to underperform. The useful next step is not to choose but to try to close each gap, cheaply and in a controlled way, and then compare the two waxes at their best realistic formulas.

So the answer to "which additional tests?" is five: (1) a repeatability check, to see whether either gap is bigger than the normal spread between candles; (2) a load ladder on the heat winner, inside its published ceiling, to see whether more oil closes the throw gap; (3) a wick and cure check, because a narrow pool or an early burn can look like weak throw; (4) a packaging-and-route check on the throw winner, because some heat gaps are solved in the parcel rather than the wax; and (5) a throw-after-heat test, because the throw your customer smells is the throw of a candle that has already travelled. Then you compare cost per saleable candle at each wax's final formula.

The worked example uses Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 because they have different published ceilings — 13% and 10% — which changes how far a load ladder can go. It does not assume which wax won which test. CSI publishes no heat-survival data for any of its waxes. Every temperature on this page is either your own logged reading or a clearly labelled example test condition that you replace with your measured route. CSI publishes no throw data either. Your round 1 sheet decides which wax is T (throw) and which is H (heat).

The CSI principle
Do not choose between two half-results. Close each gap as far as it honestly closes, then choose between two whole candles.
The first round tests one formula. Round 2 tests what each wax can become inside its limits — and what that costs.

Test 1 · Is either gap real?

Before spending anything on fixes, check whether the gaps are bigger than the noise. Hot throw scored by one person on one evening, from one candle per wax, can easily flip on a second night. A heat result from one candle per wax can be one bad pour. Round 2 therefore starts with three more candles per wax at the original 8% through your heat profile, and three more per wax burned for blind throw with at least two judges who do not know which candle is which.

Working rule · scores 0–5 · decide before you look at the results
Is the round 1 gap bigger than the spread?
Check How The gap is real if… If not real
Throw spread within each wax 3 candles per wax, 2+ blind judges, same room, same burn time Every T candle scores above every H candle, or the averages differ by more than the spread inside each wax Treat throw as a tie; decide on heat and cost
Heat spread within each wax 3 candles per wax on the same validated profile Every H candle beats every T candle on the heat lines Treat heat as a tie; decide on throw and cost
Judge agreement Compare each judge's ranking Judges rank the waxes the same way Add judges or a second evening before deciding

It is common for one gap to shrink on repetition. That is good news, not wasted effort: if the throw difference turns out to be a single-candle accident, the heat winner simply wins. Comparing samples objectively explains the same-everything conditions that make repeats meaningful, and the courier-simulation rig gives you a heat profile you can run three times without waiting for the weather.

Scoring throw on the night you light the candle you hope will win. Knowing which candle is which moves scores; it is the most common bias in small-batch testing. Fix: someone else labels the jars underneath with codes, lights them, and records which code is which. You score codes, then unblind.

Test 2 and 3 · Can the heat winner throw better?

A heat winner at 8% is not the heat winner at its best. It might simply need more oil, a better-matched wick or more cure time.

If the heat winner's throw gap is real, try to close it with three levers, one at a time. Load: raise the fragrance load in steps, never above the wax's published ceiling. Wick: make sure the pool reaches the glass by your usual burn time — a narrow pool cuts throw regardless of load. Cure: score throw at a later checkpoint too, because some wax and oil pairs develop more slowly. The ladder depends on which wax is H:

Load ladder inside the published ceiling · CSI convention: load = share of finished weight
How far each example wax's ladder can go
If your heat winner is Published ceiling Ladder steps (200 g candle) Oil per candle Headroom left at the top step
Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 10% (CSI 464 product page) 8% → 9% → 10% 16 g → 18 g → 20 g None — 10% is the ceiling
Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 13% (Chunks product page) 8% → 10% → 12% 16 g → 20 g → 24 g 1 point

Two cautions. First, a ceiling is a maximum, not a target: CSI's product pages state up to 10% for CSI 464 and up to 13% for Chunks as the wax makers' formulation limits, not as the best load for throw. More oil does not always mean more throw, and it can bring sweating — which is exactly the heat property the H wax was chosen for. So every ladder step goes back through the heat profile, not just the throw room. Second, a higher load can change the wick result; if the pool or flame changes, bracket the wick before you judge throw. Oil droplets after warm storage explains why load is investigated before wax when a heated candle beads.

1
Pour the ladder with the round 2 repeatsSame day, same oil lot. Four candles per ladder step: two through the heat profile and then burned for throw, two unheated for throw. CSI 464 page guidance gives a melt/pour working range of 80–90°C; Chunks gives fragrance addition at 80–90°C and a 75–80°C pour (spec table).
2
Check the pool before the noseBurn one unheated candle of each step first. If the melt pool does not reach the glass by your usual burn time, the step's throw score is not valid yet — try the next wick and repeat. Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made are ₹12.00 each at every pack size, so a bracket costs little.
3
Score throw at two cure checkpointsFor example 7 and 14 days — labelled working checkpoints. If the gap narrows at 14 days, cure time, not wax, was part of the round 1 result.
4
Send every step through heatA ladder step that closes the throw gap but loses the heat advantage has not solved anything.

Test 4 · Can the throw winner travel better?

Now the mirror question. If the throw winner's heat gap is real, some of it may be solved outside the wax. Run its heat candles again in your full shipper on your validated profile, and in a variant with one point less oil (8% → 7%). The parcel check tells you whether packaging closes the gap; the lower load tells you whether a small formula change does — and the throw room tells you what that lower load costs in scent. Heat-testing in retail packaging sets out the bare-versus-packed arms, and improving heat resistance without losing throw covers the formula levers in depth.

Ask what failed, not just whether it failed
"Heat failure" covers very different faults. Light surface beading that disappears in 24 hours and a slumped surface with a leaning wick are not the same problem. Score each heat line separately; a throw winner that only beads lightly in an unpacked jar may be fixed by packaging and dispatch timing, while a wick shift will not be.

Test 5 · Throw after heat — the test that decides

Your customer never smells the candle in your studio. They smell the one that came out of the van.

Round 1 measured throw on fresh, unheated candles. But in summer, every candle a customer lights has been through your storage and the courier first. Heat exposure can soften the wax and move fragrance oil towards the surface, and some of the most volatile part of the scent may be lost from a warm, open surface — mechanisms commonly described in candle making, not CSI measurements. So the decisive comparison is throw after heat: candles from both waxes, at their final formulas, put through the same heat profile, rested 24 hours, then burned blind side by side.

Final comparison · each wax at its best formula from tests 2–4 · blind · scores 0–5
Throw-after-heat scoring sheet
Line Wax T (final formula) Wax H (final formula) Note
Formula ___% · wick ___ · packed ___ ___% · wick ___ From tests 2–4
Heat lines after profile (sweat, slump, wick, separation) ___ ___ Must pass your gate
Cold throw on opening the parcel ___ ___ Customer's first impression
Hot throw after heat, blind, fixed room ___ ___ The deciding throw score
Hot throw unheated (reference) ___ ___ Shows how much heat cost each wax
Full pool by usual burn, flame, soot ___ ___ No worse than your safety standard
Surface look after heat vs twin ___ ___ Within your tolerance

Read the row "hot throw unheated (reference)" against "hot throw after heat". If the throw winner loses more after heat than the heat winner does, the round 1 throw advantage may disappear in exactly the candles that travel. If it keeps its advantage after heat and passes the heat gate in its shipper, it was the better commercial wax all along. Making summer a gate, not the score explains why a wax that fails the heat gate is out whatever its throw.

Comparing a ladder-boosted heat winner with an un-boosted throw winner. If H is tested at 10% and T stays at 8%, you are comparing formulas, not waxes. That is fine — the final choice is between formulas — but only if T has had the same chance to be optimised (wick, cure, packaging). Fix: finish tests 2–4 for both waxes before the final sheet, and write each final formula at the top.

The priced Round 2 kit

Round 2 needs six candles per wax at 8% (three heat-then-burn, three unheated) and four per ladder step on the heat winner. Grams follow CSI's finished-weight convention; a 5% pour-loss allowance is a working assumption. Wax: CSI live pricing, re-checked 1 October 2026; oil: CSI live pricing, pulled 24 September 2026; wicks and jars: verified 10 September 2026. Because the ladder depends on which wax won heat, both versions are priced.

What closing each gap costs per candle

Each extra point of fragrance load costs ₹10.87 per 200 g candle in Bergamot Amber at the 500 g rate, and slightly reduces the wax in the candle. Material cost per candle at production packs (wax 5 kg rate, oil 500 g rate, Cotton Braided wick ₹12.00, White Matte jar ₹70.80), excluding labour, packaging, freight and GST:

Per 200 g candle · CSI live pricing, re-checked 1 October 2026 (wax) · CSI live pricing, pulled 24 September 2026 (oil) · only loads within each wax's published ceiling
Material cost at each ladder step
Load Chunks (≤13%) CSI 464 (≤10%)
8% ₹279.99 ₹263.14
9% ₹289.67 ₹272.99
10% ₹299.34 ₹282.85
12% ₹318.69 Above ceiling

Now the trade in rupees. Suppose the heat winner needs two extra points of oil to match the throw winner after heat. That costs about ₹19.71 more per candle in CSI 464 (from ₹263.14 to ₹282.85), or ₹19.35 in Chunks. On the other side, if the throw winner sheds an example 5% of hot-month candles to heat damage (your figure goes here), its cost per saleable candle at 8% rises from ₹279.99 to ₹294.73 in Chunks, or ₹263.14 to ₹276.99 in CSI 464 — before replacement postage and a lost customer. Put your own reject rate and the throw-after-heat result together, and the decision usually becomes obvious. Comparing total formulation cost when a wax needs more oil and finished cost at each wax's optimal load take the cost side further.

Argued against our own interest, plainly. The load ladder sells more fragrance oil, and the heat winner's ladder is where we make more money. But if the repeatability check shows the throw gap was noise, you need no ladder at all and should buy the heat winner at 8%. And if the throw winner passes in its shipper, you need no wax change either. We publish no throw or heat data for any wax or oil, so these tests are the only evidence that counts.

The decision rule

Working decision rule · apply after the throw-after-heat sheet
Choosing the commercial wax after a split result
What round 2 showed Decision What you buy
Throw gap was noise; heat gap real Heat winner at 8% 5 kg bag of H for a pilot
Heat gap was noise; throw gap real Throw winner at 8% 5 kg bag of T for a pilot
H closes the throw gap inside its ceiling and still passes heat H at the ladder step that closed it 5 kg of H + oil for the higher load
T passes heat in its shipper or at 7% with acceptable throw T with that packaging or load 5 kg of T; write the packing spec
Both closed Lower cost per saleable candle wins Use the cost table with your reject rate
Neither closed Heat gate rules: H Accept lower throw, or test a third wax

The last row follows the rule used across this cluster: a candle that fails in transit is a refund, while a candle that throws a little less is still a sale. When nothing closes, heat wins. Choosing among three waxes that each win one test extends this to three candidates, and the full qualification protocol puts the winner through warehouse, courier and customer stages.

Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November 2026. Round 2 needs a cure checkpoint, a heat profile and a blind burn — about two to three weeks if you pour this week — so it fits before festive dispatch, and the throw-after-heat result is what gift buyers will actually smell.

Record the decision so it survives next summer

Write down the final formula of the chosen wax, the round 1 and round 2 sheets, the heat profile used and the date. If the choice was the heat winner at a higher load, record why — the next person to look at the recipe will otherwise "save money" by dropping the load back to 8% and lose the throw you paid for. Keep 200–300 g of each wax bag used in the test and one finished candle from the pilot. CSI publishes no lot numbers or lot-to-lot data, so retained samples are your only way to check a future bag against the one you approved.

Choose between two finished candles, not between two first drafts.

Why trust this guide

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. A load ladder sells more fragrance oil, and either wax in the example is ours. We still tell you to check repeatability first — it may show no ladder is needed — and we publish no throw or heat-survival data that would let us pick a winner for you.

Soy-wax prices are CSI live pricing re-checked on 1 October 2026; Bergamot Amber is CSI live pricing pulled 24 September 2026; wick and jar prices are those verified for Blog 760 on 10 September 2026. Candle splits, ladders, pack rounding and per-candle costs are arithmetic shown to two decimals.

Ladder steps, three candles per repeat, four per ladder step, two judges, cure checkpoints, the example heat profile and the 5% reject rate are labelled working practices and examples, not standards.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose the soy wax with better throw or better heat resistance?
Close each gap first. If neither can be closed, choose the wax that survives heat: a failed parcel costs a refund, while a slightly weaker throw is still a sale.
Can I increase fragrance load to improve throw in a heat-stable wax?
Inside its published ceiling, yes, as a test — CSI 464 up to 10%, Chunks and CSI 468 up to 13%. Send every step back through your heat profile, because more oil can bring sweating.
Does heat exposure reduce candle throw?
It can: heat can soften the wax and move oil towards the surface, and some volatile notes may be lost. That is why the deciding test is throw after heat, not fresh-candle throw.
How many test candles do I need to compare hot throw fairly?
A working minimum of three per wax, burned side by side and scored blind by two or more people, so one odd candle or one judge cannot decide the result.
Why does my candle throw better after two weeks?
Many wax and oil pairs develop over cure time. Score throw at two labelled checkpoints, for example 7 and 14 days, before deciding a wax is weak.
Which CSI soy wax has the best hot throw?
CSI publishes no throw measurements for any wax or oil and does not rank them. Test your shortlist blind in your jar, with your oil, after your heat profile.
Close the gaps, then choose
Do not pick between half-results. Run round 2 and choose between two finished candles.

Product-page statements: Chunks up to 13%, fragrance addition 80–90°C, pour 75–80°C (spec table; step list 70–80°C); CSI 464 up to 10%, melt/pour working range 80–90°C, shelf life 60 months cool and dry. CSI publishes no throw, heat-survival or cure data. Repeat and ladder candle counts, judges, cure checkpoints (7 and 14 days), the example heat profile and the 5% reject rate are labelled examples. Material costs exclude labour, packaging, freight and GST. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
