How to use traditional sealing wax with wick?

You should be able to make 10-14 seals with a 3/4" embossing coin from one stick of our sealing waxes with wick.

Light the wick and hold the sealing wax for glue gun at a slight 20 degree angle (lit end down).

Holding the stick directly on & over the area where you wish to make your seal, allow the melting wax to pull itself onto the project creating a pool large enough for the sealing coin.

If you find the wax begins to set while you are still melting the wax, move the candle around the area to mix hot wax with the cooler wax.

Dab your seal into our Seal Non-Stick (or Highlighting Ink for a dimensional look) to prevent the seal sticking to the sealing wax.

Emboss with your seal and lift straight up.

If you are not using a non-stick product and find the wax won't let go of the seal, simply let your seal rest on the wax until the wax is completely cool, then lift your seal off.

For strong waxes, we recommend resting your seal on ice before embossing the hot wax - this will quick set the wax, and allow the seal to easily release.

Notes about Sealing Wax with Wick:

Packing sealing wax with an included wick are ideal for creating seals on demand

- easily allowing you to choose any color in your collection without requiring any melting equipment.

One can use this style of wax easily while on the go.

Available in a large assortment of wonderful colors.

Can be slow to use for large projects unless you melt down the sticks.

We also use candle style sealing wax with our Melting Pot, which allows us to melt the wax without soot contamination, remelt and reuse our mistakes, as well as mix colors for a custom look.
