Omg! I JUST bought that exact pot this weekend for the same purpose! I cannot thank you enough for this great tutorial , even I can do this, easy peasy! It is a great pot too, I made a very small test batch of soy blend container candles and used the pot of course as my melter. Then I poured the wax into my pouring pots and added my color and f.o. It was nice not having to deal with the double boiler. I will be making larger batches, so I will definitely be using your instructions. Thank you, thank you! Beats the hell out of paying over $100 on Etsy for the exact same thing. 👍🏻😉
Just finished making this , thanks for the clear directions and listing of necessary tools. So simple and easy in reality but your video gave me the confidence to attempt the project. Your videos are a gift!!
Thanks for the info. I managed to score two Presto Pots with Amazon points (so I paid nothing for them lol) and went to my local Home Depot for the spigots and JB Weld for a whopping $21.37.

Omg, I wish I had seen this video before I purchased my presto pot. I could have made three for the amount that I paid for one presto pot. Wow, thank you for this!❤️
Liza Strickland Thank you so much for watching. These make such a big difference when pouring large batches. I can’t believe I held off as long as I did before getting some.
Thanks for the tutorial. I did this over the weekend and it works perfectly. I already had the fryer that was in my cupboard not being used. So I spent roughly $15 and made a nice and easy wax melter. I greatly appreciate the videos as a new candle maker, they are helping me learn to do's and don't.
Update.... Omg! On the presto Pot! Not only is it efficient on fuel cost (no water or gas used and can be used with solar panels if I want to make it cheep long haul); but it saves SO MUCH SPACE! I have my whole kitchen back when before my workspace took up THE ENTIRE KITCHEN! I'm never turning back! 👍👍👍
So, should the drill bit be SMALLER, SAME SIZE, or LARGER than the size of your valve?? I have a 3/4" Valve.... I'm trying to decipher if after the guide hole I use a 3/4 bit
Hi, do you think it would be OK to make the hole a little bit lower - almost on the underside of the pot, to allow for as much wax at the bottom of the pot to come out easier?
Thanks so much for the wealth of information that you share with us! It’s extremely helpful to us newbies. What is the item number for the valve that you used to make this? Or, what is the exact name for this valve as I’m having a hard time finding that one piece? Also, what’s the second drill bit that you used? I told you that I was a newbie. Lol
@@DollsandEverythingElse please be very very very careful with paddle bits; they're for wood, not metal. The wrong bit can damage the material, or break the bit, which is extremely dangerous.
Great job. I have to give it a try. One question for you. How do you decide which spigot to buy? I am concerned about wax blocking that attachment. Best regards
Hi Stanley do you have any tutorials on using the melter? Do you add oil in pot and pour direct into candle jar? Also how do you keep valve from getting clogged with wax? Thanks!!!!!!
I’ll have to grab the bit and see why it works, not sure if it’s the threads on the spout but the bit I used was the 3/4 and the valve is labeled at Home Depot as a 1/2. 🤦🏼♂️😂
Thank you Stanley for such great video. I am really a novice in handy stuff so just have a very basic question. Why are we using a 3/4 inch drill bit for a half inch ball valve? Thank you.
@jacussi My understanding is that the internal diameter of the spout is 1/2 inch. So with the metal pipe around that, it's about 3/4 inch on the outside.
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm making my next two myself after a bad experience buying from Esty. I should have just made that one myself. Now I have to put JB Weld on it myself since the Esty maker did not seal it right. 🤔
I’ve seen another method where they use a threader to cut threads in the opening before twisting in the nozzle/valve. Is one way better than the other?
Hello. I made candles from palm wax and to 500 g of melted wax I added 25 g of perfume but it smells very strong. How much perfume should I add to not have such a strong smell? Thank you very much!
Ok so here's my question. Is there any reason you know of for not possibly using high temp rubber sealers and a large enough nut to seal or is the jb weld a requirement? I asking just in case I needed to change the value for any reason in the future
Hi Jeff, I love watching your videos, i love making candles, I really wanted to get a small business going but was struggling with the burn of the wicks, but I won’t give up trying. I’m from the uk and was wonder how much delivery would be for one of your presto pots please.

Does it harm the wax in any way to leave it in the melter for a long time (hours) without it doing anything to the wax to not make it bind well with fragrance oils? Hope this makes sense. Also can the wax be left in the pot and reheated or do I need to start with a fresh batch at another time?
Karen Feil Not that I’ve noticed at all. I usually leave mine melting for an hour to so while I pour and use the very next batch if I let it harden again. Most waxes are melted once as they pour the blocks as well.
Jeff - great video, thanks for the tips. I made the melter, but the valve wasn't working well so need to get something better. What type of valve are you using here? All the ones I have seen have a max temp of 180, are these safe for wax use? Thank you again!
Mohammed Burney I bought the basic 1/2 valve from Home Depot and it works great. I think the max temp is 180 as well but I don’t heat the wax that high.
Hi Stanley, I got this pot for Christmas. I use Pillar of Bliss wax. On my 2nd pot of wax, the wax started making sounds like it was boiling eventhough it was only in there for a few minutes. I attended to it, and even cut hole in the unmelted wax so the melted wax could release the bubbles it was producing. I had the pot on its lowest setting of warm to 200°. Bam! The pressure built up so much that it exploded sending all the wax to the lid, and also some outside of the pot. All this happened within 5-10 mins. I was with the pot the entire time. Do you have any ideas why this happened?
@@StandleyHandcrafted thx for your quick reply. I had maybe 2 or 3 lbs in it. I had made melts earlier in the evening, turned the pot off, then when I came back the wax was solid. I then turned it on again and that's when it happened. It definitely gave me a mini heart attack as I was RIGHT beside it.
@@StandleyHandcrafted I found out what happened. I called the manufacturer and they said the wax has water in it, either from the weather or from where they cooled the wax with water during the manufacturer process. Their recommendation was to pour the wax out of the plastic bag into a box and let it dry out.
Hi Standley. Been begging for ages for someone to help me with the exact drill amd drill bits you ued here but i have not been successful. I am very desperate. You probably won't answer this but if you could i would be externally grateful Can i get a link to the exact drill bits you used it making the presto pots? And the electrical drill that goes with them? I searched Amazon and the various metal drills are so confusing i didn't know which to buy. Please please help Standley😔
It would depend on the size of valve you are using on the pot. You can ask your hardware guy what size bit you should use for the valve you want to use. Also, please remember 2 things. 1. Always wear safety glasses while drilling. 2. NEVER use a spade bit like the one shown in the video on metal. It's specifically designed for wood. When used on metal, it will shatter sending metal bits everywhere.
LaTosha Fitch I’ve been using one for a month now and it’s SOOOO much better. I seriously can’t believe I used pitchers to melt for so long. I heat the wax up, then just pour out what I need and add FO. Makes such a huge difference.
Thanks for the great video went got the supplies and my friend has a drill were about to get our drilling on.. I may do a video would love to share it with you. Your definitely an inspiration I'm working towards getting my business up n going fully up here in Baxter Minnesota. It is called Northern Lytez Dee-Lytez.
The presto pot is $25 and $35 for the two different sizes. The valves and pipes depending on how you want to set them up will run you $10-$20 The sealant is around $5 and will be way more than you need. The rest if you don't have it, drill bits, files, etc, go up from there.
Hi Stanley, such an amazing video! My husband actually made one for me but after using a few times... The wax turns to a very peachy colour with a waxy smell. I wonder is this because I've overcooked them from directed heat? Rather than double boiler? 😢 Do you have any experience with over cooked wax? (I measured the temperature which is around 110 C)That particular batch has less scent through performance. So I guess I need to be very careful with that...😔
Idk why I've worried about doing this for such an amount of time. I've been doing the Double Boiler Method for so long, I named my LLC after it. 😅😅😥😭 Yes... This whole time! I just bought my first pot today.
Hey there thanks for this!! You are the bomb.com My hubby just made mine 🤗. And what I found to work for the clogged spout is leaving the spout open to drip. While the wax is melting when it’s at 180 I pour the drips back in the pot and open the spout to pour my pound or whatever I need. It was a pain the first couple days that it was clogged and I thought he didn’t make it right 🥴. He got tired of me giving Jeff praises and referencing your channel that he had to show me how to make lemonade lol Please I need you to schedule time to do a problem solving tips and tricks video on using the melt pot please and thanks.

Thank you Stanley for such great video. I am really a novice in handy stuff so just have a very basic question. Why are we using a 3/4 inch drill bit for a half inch ball valve? Thank you.
@jacussi My understanding is that the internal diameter of the spout is 1/2 inch. So with the metal pipe around that, it's about 3/4 inch on the outside.
The lowest temp is 200. If you are dealing with wax that doesn’t need to go past 185 do you just monitor to that point then set your control to warm?
Kimberley I keep my setting between warm and 200 and it keeps my wax right at 165-160
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm making my next two myself after a bad experience buying from Esty. I should have just made that one myself. Now I have to put JB Weld on it myself since the Esty maker did not seal it right. 🤔
Great Video! Thanks for posting!
After melting and you have drained all wax out for candles..do wax build up in spigot? If so how do u remove?
Put water in it, heat it up, open the spigot, and drain.
Do you have a link with a video of you using this pot?
I do not see the things you mentioned in the description linked as you stated
I’ve seen another method where they use a threader to cut threads in the opening before twisting in the nozzle/valve. Is one way better than the other?
One is faster. No real benefits to threading. Cleaner look is all.
Will this work with palm wax also it needs to be at 200 degrees? I'm sorry it's probably a stupid question.
Robin Feliciano This goes all the way too 400 so any wax will work great in these.
Hello. I made candles from palm wax and to 500 g of melted wax I added 25 g of perfume but it smells very strong. How much perfume should I add to not have such a strong smell? Thank you very much!
Can I use that for my sauce pot ?
Ok so here's my question. Is there any reason you know of for not possibly using high temp rubber sealers and a large enough nut to seal or is the jb weld a requirement? I asking just in case I needed to change the value for any reason in the future
You do either. But remember that nuts a rubber washers have to seal tightly on a curved surface. Jb weld molds to the surface
This is AMAZING thank you for this ! God bless you

How difficult is it to clean? Does the wax ever harden in the valve? Thanks!
Very easy, once you heat the pot the wax wipes right out and the valve melts out.
@@StandleyHandcrafted thanks! I'll look into adding this to mine
Where did you get your pot from and how many quarts is yours
Thank you for that! That was so simple..
Does that sealer change the wax? As far as the way the wax performs, discoloration, smell, adhesion?
Nope not at all. It's got a heat rating higher than it will ever get too.

Approximately how much all of the supplies cost to make it?
The presto pot is $25 and $35 for the two different sizes.

The sealant is around $5 and will be way more than you need.

Nice one but you could have installed the tap further lower so that most of the wax be drained out ✌
Because of the curve you can really go much further down.
