For this test, I added about four pounds of melt and pour soap base to the pot, cut up in about 1" chunks. (Note: the orange colored base is the orange melt and pour base from From Nature With Love mixed in with some regular clear soap base.) I dialed the temperature dial to about 150 degrees and the process (and the timer) had begun!

The PD7 Melter holds up to seven pounds of melt and pour soap or candle wax. (Note: This is the smallest one - they get a lot bigger!)
