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 adding the scent for pouring and you'll know that it's going to be the proper temperature when its gotten a little bit thick but it still shakes off the stick. And we're going to choose our scent. We use essential oils so they're all oils derived from natural products. They're not man made; they don't have a lot of chemicals in them. And in this clip we're going to be adding cinnamon and spice to this color. So add whatever smells good. I usually add about two tablespoons. Then you're going to stir it in making sure that it blends well.
