How are people pouring Clay+Wax Pomades at <70C?
I’ve read that people are taking their oil/water mixture and letting it cool to 50-65C before pouring. I’m having trouble with this because my waxes have melting points between 64-71C so at around 70C, it starts to thicken dramatically. I’m making small batches (i.e. 100g) while I’m perfecting my formula so it cools rapidly
How are people still pouring at 65C? Should I be making bigger batches so that it retains heat for a bit longer?
Thanks

My experience has been to start pouring at around 73C if I want a nice looking pour, otherwise, I end up scraping my mixture

Pour temps will depend from formula to formula. Since you’re using waxes, you will have to pour at a higher temperature so that it does not clump.
If pouring at high heat is causing issues for you, you can always heat your container up a bit and pour your hot mixture into that. It will help the product cool slower which should produce a similar effect to pouring at lower temps.
When you see people pour at lower temps that is simply because their formula allows it.
