Iron Temperature Chart

If your iron isn't calibrated, what you dial in may not be the exact temperature of the iron. Use these numbers as a guide and adjust down to the lowest temperature that will maintain the wax in a liquid state at a length of about 4 inches (10 cm) behind your iron. Using your judgment is always preferred to relying on the dial setting.

Wax Temperature (F)	Iron Temp (F)	Iron Temp (C)
Warm	230	110
Cold/All-Temp	265	130
>32	230	110
25 - 34	240	115
20 - 28	255	125
15 - 21	265	130
<21	275	135
<15	285	140

Note: At 285 F / 140 C you should be using fiberlene between your base and the iron to prevent base damage.
