New Vessel × Small Adhesion Test
A new jar re-opens adhesion, wick and pour temperature. A sample check, an 18-jar screen against the jar you already sell and a 50-candle pilot cost a small share of the order they protect.
₹3,460.45
CSI materials for the sample check and 18-jar adhesion screen on a new Salsa vessel — 5.9% of a 2,000-jar order · CSI live pricing, October 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Should I test every new jar? Yes. A new vessel re-opens adhesion, wick and pour temperature. Approve the jar, not just the formula.

How small can the test be? Gate 2 is 18 jars: six of your current jar, six new at room glass, six new at warm glass, from one melt.

Is it worth it? Sample check and screen for a Salsa: ₹3,460.45, 5.9% of a 2,000-jar order. The pilot candles are saleable if they pass.

What do I check before pouring? Empty weight, real fill weight, hot-pour limit, inside surface, shape and lid fit. See gate 1.
The short answer
Answer: Yes. Give every new vessel a sample check, a small adhesion screen beside the jar you already sell, and a pilot batch before you order thousands.
Why: Glass mass, shape, base, fill and hot-pour limit change adhesion, wick and pour settings. A formula approved in one jar is unapproved in another.
Method: Gate 1: weigh, fill, limit, surface. Gate 2: 6 current + 6 new room + 6 new warm, one melt, 48 h and 7-day scores. Gate 3: 50 candles in production conditions for 30 days with a burn and, if you ship, a temperature cycle.

Three gates between a new jar and a 2,000-jar order Each gate is cheap next to the order it protects · a jar change re-opens adhesion, wick and pour-temperature checks GATE 1 Sample pack weigh · fill · limit ₹200.60 Salsa example pass? fail: stop, cost so far only GATE 2 Adhesion screen 18 jars · 3 arms ₹3,259.85 Salsa example pass? fail: stop, cost so far only GATE 3 Pilot of 50 production conditions ₹8,398.64 Salsa example pass? fail: stop, cost so far only ORDER 2,000 jars only after gate 3 ₹59,000.00 Salsa 100-packs The arithmetic that answers the question Gates 1–2 for a new Salsa vessel: ₹3,460.45 — 5.9% of a 2,000-jar order (₹59,000.00). The pilot's 50 candles are saleable if they pass. Example risk if nobody tests and 20% spot: ₹61,073.02 of materials in unsellable candles. Gate 2 compares the new vessel with the jar you already sell, same melt, same day. Example risk share is an assumption you replace — not a measured rate for any jar.
Three gates between a new vessel and a production jar order, priced for a 200 ml Salsa example. A vessel that fails at any gate costs only what was spent so far; the example risk share is an assumption, not a measured rate.

Straight answer
Should every new candle vessel receive a small adhesion test before I buy thousands of jars?
Yes — every new vessel, every time. A formula that gives clean glass in one jar can spot in another: glass mass, wall thickness, base, shape, fill and surface all change how wax sets against the glass, and a new vessel also re-opens your wick and your pour temperature, which must sit inside both the wax page's range and the jar's hot-pour limit. Run three short gates. Gate 1: buy the smallest pack and check empty weight, real fill weight, hot-pour limit, inside surface, shape and lid fit. Gate 2: pour six of the jar you already sell beside six of the new jar at room glass and six at measured warm glass, from one melt, and score at 48 hours and 7 days. Gate 3: a 50-candle pilot in production conditions for 30 days, with a burn test and, if you ship, a temperature cycle. For a new 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar, gates 1 and 2 cost ₹3,460.45 in CSI materials — 5.9% of a 2,000-jar order at ₹59,000.00 — and the pilot's candles are saleable if they pass.
One line: approve the jar, not just the formula — sample, screen beside your current jar, pilot, then order.
Yes — every new vessel. A new jar re-opens adhesion, wick and pour-temperature results, and the test is a small fraction of the order: for a new 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar, the sample check and adhesion screen cost ₹3,460.45 in CSI materials against ₹59,000.00 for 2,000 jars — 5.9% of the jar order, before the 50-candle pilot.
Order a Salsa sample pack

Yes — a small test per new vessel is the cheapest insurance you will buy

Your formula was approved in your old jar. In a new jar it is unapproved until it passes again.

A wax, oil and wick that give clean glass in one jar can spot in another. Glass mass, wall thickness, base, shape, diameter, fill weight and the jar's surface are all commonly cited as changing how wax sets against the glass, and none of them is visible in a product photo. A vessel change also re-opens your wick — a different diameter or depth changes the melt pool — and your pour temperature, which has to stay inside both the wax page's range and the new jar's hot-pour limit. So the honest answer is yes: every new vessel gets a small adhesion test before a big jar order, and the test is part of approving the jar, not an optional extra.

The money makes it easy. For a new 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar, all three gates on this page — a sample pack, an 18-jar adhesion screen and a 50-candle pilot — come to ₹11,859.09 in CSI materials, and most of that is the pilot — fifty candles you can sell if they pass. A 2,000-jar order of the same jar in its 100-packs is ₹59,000.00, and the materials for 2,000 finished candles are about ₹3,05,365.12. Gates 1 and 2 are 5.9% of the jar order; all three gates are 3.9% of the production run's materials. If the vessel turned out to spot in a fifth of candles — an example figure, not a rate for any jar — the materials in unsellable candles would be about ₹61,073.02.

The gates are short on purpose. Gate 1 is a receiving check on the smallest pack. Gate 2 is a side-by-side adhesion screen against the jar you already sell, from one melt. Gate 3 is a pilot batch in production conditions, including a burn test and, if you ship, a temperature cycle. A vessel that fails a gate costs you only what you have spent so far — which is why the order comes last.

Approve the jar, not just the formula.
A formula approval names the vessel it was tested in. A new vessel earns its own line.

Gate 1: the sample pack — what to check before pouring anything

Five jars and ten minutes with a scale and a torch can end a bad vessel before it costs you a single candle.

Buy the smallest listed pack. For the Salsa that is five jars for ₹200.60; for CSI's Clear 150 g jar, ten for ₹944.00. Then check the things no product photo shows.

Receiving check on the sample pack · a few minutes per jar · record everything against the order date
Gate 1 checklist
Check How Why it matters for adhesion and production
Empty weight of each jar Weigh on your scale; note lightest and heaviest Glass mass is a heat-sink proxy; a wide spread means jars of one SKU may behave differently
Real fill weight Pour one jar to your fill line with wax and weigh it Brim volume is not fill weight — the Salsa's 200 ml and the Yankee's 130 ml are brim volumes
Hot-pour limit From the jar page or the supplier — ask CSI on WhatsApp Clear 150 g states up to 85°C; the Salsa's limit is not published
Inside surface Torch at a low angle against black card; breath check Residue or marks on arrival — clean-or-not becomes part of the jar's SOP
Shape Note straight, curved or tapered walls and the base Curves and heavy bases are where spots often start
Lid and label fit Try your lid and label A NEW line in the retest matrix
Keep two empty jars from every carton
Mark them with the order date and keep them on a shelf. If adhesion changes on a later order, you can weigh and compare the old and new glass in a minute. CSI publishes no lot numbers for jars; your own order-date label is the record. When jar suppliers change and monitoring future jar and wax lots build on this habit.

Gate 2: the adhesion screen, against the jar you already sell

The example maker sells a candle in the Yankee Glass Jar 130 ml (illustrative 110 g fill) poured with Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 and Cucumber Green Tea at 8%, and wants to add a larger SKU in the 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar (illustrative 160 g fill — weigh yours). Gate 2 pours three arms from one melt: six of the current jar as the control, six of the new jar into room-temperature glass, and six of the new jar into glass warmed to a measured, recorded temperature (an example arm is 35–45°C, never hotter than the wax or above the jar's limit). CSI 464's page lists an 80–90°C melt/pour working range; the Salsa's hot-pour limit is not published, so confirm it in gate 1 and pour every arm at one temperature that sits inside both.

1
Clean every jar the same way and number itIPA wipe, measured dry, gloves. 01–06 current jar, 07–12 new jar room glass, 13–18 new jar warm glass. Weigh each new jar empty.
2
Pour all eighteen from one melt, rotatingCurrent, new-room, new-warm, round and round, at one wax temperature read at every jar. Pour warm jars within a fixed number of seconds of leaving the warmer.
3
Cool togetherOne tray, mixed positions, even spacing, off cold stone, away from AC.
4
Photograph and score at 48 hours and 7 daysFour marked sides through the glass against a plain light background, top from above. Example house scale 0–4. Labelled example checkpoints.
5
Burn one jar of each arm after 7 daysA first look at the wick in the new vessel — melt pool, flame, glass heat on the side. Not a full wick qualification; that belongs in gate 3.

Six a side, not three, because this result decides an order worth tens of thousands of rupees; it is still a screen. Why include the current jar at all? Because it tells you whether the day was normal. If your current jar spots too, the problem is the day — cleaning, room, cooling — not the new vessel, and you should repeat gate 2 before judging it.

Working interpretation · your house pass line written before pouring · six jars per arm is still a screen
Reading gate 2
Pattern at 7 days What it suggests Next
Current clean, new-room clean The new vessel holds this formula without help Gate 3
Current clean, new-room spotty, new-warm clean The new vessel needs a preheat Gate 3 with the preheat on its settings card; price the labour
Current clean, both new arms spotty The vessel and this formula do not suit each other at these settings Pour window or cooling tests in the new jar — or drop the vessel
Current spotty too Not the vessel — today's conditions Fix cleaning, room or cooling, then repeat gate 2
The common mistake: testing the new jar on its own. Six clean candles in a new jar on a warm afternoon prove less than they seem, and six spotty ones prove nothing about the jar if your current jar would also have spotted that day. Fix: always pour the jar you already sell beside the new one, from the same melt. It costs six jars and it makes the result mean something.

Gate 3: a pilot batch in production conditions

If gate 2 passes, pour 50 candles in the new vessel exactly as production will — the same cleaning, any preheat on its card, the same melter, tray layout, room and people. Keep them 30 days. Score every candle at 48 hours, 7 days and 30 days; burn-test a handful to start the wick qualification for the new vessel; and if you ship, put a few through a temperature cycle on your real courier route. A simple temperature-cycle test shows how. This is also the first time you see the spread across a real batch — outer and centre jars, first and last poured — which a screen of six cannot show.

A screen tells you the jar can work. A pilot tells you your workshop can make it work fifty times in a row.

What the gates cost against the order they protect

Material cost of one candle at production rates, in each candidate vessel: in the Salsa (160 g illustrative), CSI 464 at the 5 kg rate (₹507.40 a kilo), Cucumber Green Tea at the 1 kg rate (₹3.33 a gram), the Eco Thin C1 example wick at ₹5.90 and the jar at the 100-pack rate — ₹152.68; in the Clear 150 g jar (150 g page fill) at ₹94.40 a jar — ₹210.25. Both before labour, packaging, freight and GST.

The jar order prices use listed packs: 20 × pack of 100 for the Salsa, and 200 packs of ten for the Clear 150 g jar. At that scale, ask for a quote on WhatsApp — CSI publishes no volume discount, and the Clear 150 g pack of 20 is in limited stock. The pilot material for the Salsa uses 1 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg of wax and 1 × 500 g + 2 × 100 g of oil; leftovers carry into production. Whether to run a 50–100 candle pilot before a 100 kg purchase covers the wax side of the same decision.

Argued against our own interest, plainly. We sell jars by the hundred and would rather you ordered two thousand today. Do not. Buy the sample pack, run gate 2 against the jar you already sell, and only then ask us for a production quote. If the new jar needs a preheat, price that labour before you commit; if it fails, the cheapest outcome is that you bought five jars. A frosted alternative hides spots but changes nothing about adhesion — choose it for the look, not as a fix.
A new SKU for Diwali (Sunday 8 November 2026) or the November–February wedding season? Gates 1 and 2 fit before festive production if you start this week; gate 3's 30-day check runs into the season, so plan the order for the stock you need after it. Ask us on WhatsApp for jar hot-pour limits, sample packs and a production quote — larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp, and no volume discount figure is published.

The decision rule

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

Working decision rule · write your house pass line before gate 2
From the gates to a jar order
If this is true Buy And change
Gate 1 shows no published or confirmed hot-pour limit compatible with your wax Nothing Choose another vessel or another wax for it
Gate 2: new jar clean at room glass; gate 3 passes at 30 days The production quantity — e.g. 2,000 Salsa jars (₹59,000.00 in listed 100-packs, or a WhatsApp quote) New settings card; wick approved for this vessel
Gate 2: clean only with warm glass; gate 3 passes The production quantity, once preheat labour is priced Preheat on this vessel's card only
Gate 2 or 3 fails Nothing more Pour window and cooling tests in this vessel — or drop it
Your current jar spots in gate 2 Nothing yet Fix today's conditions; repeat gate 2

Once the vessel passes, its settings go into your jar-preparation and pouring SOP as their own card, and its empty-jar weights and order date go on the shelf with two retained jars. If a thick luxury jar already spots more than your test jar, that page is the diagnosis; whether a supplier change needs a test even with identical dimensions covers the same jar from a new source.

Why trust this guide

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We sell jars by the hundred, and this page tells you not to order them until a sample pack, a side-by-side screen and a pilot have passed — and says plainly that a frosted jar hides spots rather than fixing adhesion.

Oil prices are CSI live pricing, pulled 24 September 2026, stock re-checked 7 October 2026. Chunks, CSI 464 and CSI 468 prices are CSI live pricing, re-checked 7 October 2026; Natural Soy Pearl was re-checked 1 October 2026. Glass jars and the Isopropyl Alcohol Spray are CSI live pricing, pulled 7 October 2026. Wicks, stickers and tools are re-checked 4 October 2026, including the Eco Thin C1 10-pack being out of stock. Every candle split, per-jar price, kit total and cost per acceptable candle on this page is computed and shown to two decimals so you can check it.

Jar counts per arm, photo checkpoints, glass-warming and cooling settings, labour minutes and the pour-loss allowance are labelled working practices or example settings, not standards — there is no industry acceptance figure for wet spots, and the house scale you score with is yours. The Yankee and Salsa fills, the 2,000-jar order size and the 20% example risk share are illustrative; replace them with your own.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to test candle wax in a new jar?
Yes. Adhesion, wick and pour temperature all depend on the vessel. Pour the new jar beside the jar you already sell, from one melt, before ordering production quantities.
How many test candles before buying jars in bulk?
In this method: 18 for the adhesion screen (6 per arm) and a 50-candle pilot. Fewer is a rougher screen; more is reasonable for a very large order.
What should I check when I receive sample candle jars?
Empty weight, real fill weight with wax, hot-pour limit, inside surface under a torch, shape and lid and label fit. Keep two empty jars from every carton with the order date.
Does a new jar need a new wick?
Usually it needs a new wick test — diameter and depth change the melt pool, and CSI publishes no wick size per jar. Start the wick qualification in the pilot.
What is the hot-pour limit of a candle jar?
It depends on the jar. CSI's Clear 150 g jar page states up to 85°C; the Salsa, Yankee and Mini pages publish none — ask the supplier, or CSI on WhatsApp, before pouring hot.
Can I skip testing if the new jar is the same size?
No — same capacity does not mean same glass, base or shape. Same capacity, different shape and supplier changes with identical dimensions explain why.
Approve the jar first
A sample pack, eighteen jars, a pilot of fifty. Then the order.
The 200 ml Salsa jar from ₹200.60 for five, the Clear 150 g jar at ₹944.00 for ten, CSI 464 from ₹260.00 for 500 g and Cucumber Green Tea from ₹93.22 for 15 g. Ask us for jar limits and a production quote once your gates pass.

Non-price figures and assumptions: Load convention: fragrance load is a share of the finished candle (oil = W × L; wax = W × (1 − L)). Fills at 8%: Yankee illustrative 110 g, Salsa illustrative 160 g (brim volumes, fills not published — weigh a test pour), Clear 150 g 150 g (page fill). Warm glass about 35–45°C is a labelled example setting, measured, never hotter than the wax or a jar's limit. Working practices: 6 jars per arm in gate 2, a 50-candle pilot kept 30 days, 5% pour loss, photo checkpoints at 48 hours, 7 days and 30 days, a 0–4 house scale. Example figures: a 2,000-jar order, a 20% spotted share if untested. Pilot and order prices use listed packs; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp with no published discount. Per-candle cost uses the CSI 464 5 kg rate, the Cucumber Green Tea 1 kg rate, the jar prices 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.
