For "piloted" ignition (i.e., ignites when a flame is applied), 390F. For spontaneous ignition, 473F.
the fuel produces has higher ignition temperature and produces more heat

Wax is harder to ignite than methane because wax is a solid fuel with higher molecular weight and more complex chemical structure compared to methane, which is a lighter and simpler gas fuel. Wax requires more energy to break down its chemical bonds and reach the ignition temperature. Methane, being a gas, disperses more quickly and has a lower ignition temperature, making it easier to ignite.
The candle wax melting exposes the wick, where the actual burning takes place. Oxygen in the air combines with the vaporized wax in the wick, generating heat and giving off carbon dioxide (also traces gases and often carbon soot). (see related link)
Depending on the temperature, yes you can bend wax.
warm wax - 40-43 degrees
The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.
Paraffin wax is typically solid at room temperature.
If the ignition temperature is lower than the room temperature, the substance will not ignite or burn spontaneously at room temperature. Ignition temperature refers to the minimum temperature required for a substance to ignite and sustain combustion, so if it is lower than the room temperature, the substance will remain stable at that temperature.
kerosene has got higher ignition temperature.
Warm wax should be heated to 40-43 degrees.
Wax typically melts into a liquid state at around 120 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (49 to 66 degrees Celsius), depending on the type of wax. This temperature range allows the solid wax to transform into a pourable liquid.
