"Hi, I'm Gretchen Soares and welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to be making soy candles. In this clip we're going to be heating the soy. We're going to be using a metal port-a-pot and it's metal throughout with a handle on it so it doesn't fall in to the pot. We're going to take our soy and we're going to put some in the port-a-pot. Okay, so it's just set in there. We're going to take this and put it in our double boiler. We're going to use a paint stir stick to stir this as it starts melting. So it's going to boil for a little while and you're going to stir it occasionally for melting. So as this is on the stove it’s going to be melting and you're going to get a consistency such as this. You're going to keep stirring and keep letting it melt. "
