UNIQOOO Mailable Glue Gun Sealing Wax Sticks for Wax Seal Stamp - Metallic Antique Gold, Great for Wedding Invitations, Cards Envelopes, Snail Mails, Wine Packages, Christmas Gift Ideas, Pack of 8

Our wedding invitations were sealed with it. Despite my initial skepticism based on previous reviews, they turned out perfectly. My recommendations are as follows:br>- The wax sticks are full size, so you won't be able to use a mini glue gun. I purchased an Elmers Craft Bond glue gun (which fits 0. It worked great (43 sticks of various sizes). Instead of using the glue gun's built-in prop stand, I propped mine up in a cardboard box, nozzle down. When it was resting on the stand, some of the wax was pushed back out the side where the sticks are inserted by the high-temp glue gun. br>- Always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always Don't play around with the cooking spray or anything else - It is ineffective.
- If you're going to use the stamp to seal a ribbon around an invitation, make sure you put wax paper or something underneath it. If you don't, the wax will stick to the invite, which we tried first but didn't like.
- A custom seal was created for us (0. 75"), with a total of 0. To get a nice edge, use a 75" diameter of melted wax and let it disperse for a few seconds before stamping.
- When making the seal, you don't need to apply a lot of force.
- With just two stamps, I was able to stamp 75 invites. I have a lot of wax sticks left over after using 5! br>br>Because this was my first time making wax seals, I hope this review is helpful to anyone else who is new to the process.

This is a lovely product that is simple to use with a hot glue gun. This was the method we used for our wedding invitations, and the majority of them turned out beautifully. Every third or fourth one, on the other hand, would turn out to be a disaster. We couldn't tell if it was the wax or the stamp that was causing this. After some research, we discovered that sprayed nonstick cooking spray on the wax seal stamp and sat the wax seal stamp on an ice pack between uses resulted in perfect wax seals every time; with this pack of 8 large sticks, we were able to make about 130 wax seals. br>This is the link to the Wax Seal Stamp that was used in the photo:  .

This sealing wax comes highly recommended! For my wedding invitations, I bought champagne sealing sticks. To do this, you'll need a glue gun that's the right size. Keep in mind the required diameter. I used to do it the old-fashioned way, by melting the wax over an open flame, but I'll never do it again. This is a lot less difficult! I iced the metal stamp before pressing it into the hot wax to get better results. I made the wax seals on a silicon baking tray and peeled them off to use on paper (this way I could pick the wax seals that looked best), rather than applying them directly to the paper, where I could make a mistake on an invitation.

I tried it with a glue gun as well as an old-fashioned glue stick. a candle and a spoon made in the olden days I found that using a glue gun was a little easier and less messy, but it takes some practice. I experimented with different amounts of wax to see what looked best (I like it a little fuller/thicker) and ended up making about 80 stamps with the entire box. br>Here are a couple of pointers: br>1) let the wax cool before stamping (I had to wait about 30 seconds for the amount of wax I used); br>2) place the stamp in a cup of ice and wipe it dry before stamping (I didn't use cooking oil because ice worked just fine for me); br>3) This is supposed to seal the envelope; if you make a mistake, don't try to peel it off because it will destroy the envelope; instead, melt the wax slowly with the tip of the glue gun, wait for it to cool (less cool down time), and then re-seal the envelope. stamp. I messed up the first few, but I didn't waste a single envelope or a single drop of wax by using this method. br>4) Working on this project with one or two other people makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I used less than three sticks and had a total of 32 envelopes (plus two test wax seal stamps). The color (Burgundy) was perfect because I was looking for a "wine" color and this was the closest I could come. br>I bought the gold as well, but I have yet to use it. In the future, I will definitely buy more! br>br>I read some other reviews about icing your wax seal stamp, and let me tell you, it saved my life! In a small ziplock bag, put some ice and place your stamp on it between uses. The wax will not stick to the stamp if you do this. SO SIMPLE, and now I want to use a wax seal on everything! br>br>Be sure to get a glue gun that is standard size. A MINI GLUE GUN WILL NOT FIT IN THESE STICKS.

and I was enthralled by this material! Because it's so quick and easy, I bought a glue gun! I didn't want to do it correctly on my invitation in case I made a mistake, so I used wax paper, but tin foil was WAY BETTER! It tore and stuck to the wax when I used wax paper. For the stamp, I also got a bowl with some ice and a little water. It came off the wax perfectly because it was kept cold between uses! This is a brand that I would strongly recommend!! And if there were problems, I believe it was due to user error rather than the product!.

How to make the most of it. THE COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL. This was my favorite of the three color waxes I received; the others were too pink or gold for my dusty blue save the dates, and this was just right. The wax is of excellent quality, with no bubbles and a perfect sheerness, and one box was sufficient for my 100 invitations. I had enough wax to practice a few times, make the invitations, and still have some. br>These are meant to be used in a low-maintenance environment. For crafts, a hot glue gun is used. "AdTech 0453 2-" was the item I purchased. temp Dual Temperature Hot Glue Gun Full Size, White" and it was flawless. Set the temperature to low, insert the wax seal into the gun like any other hot glue gun, and squeeze once to complete the stamp. Then, lay flat down and allow to cool (about 10 seconds) so that the wax does not squeeze out one size. To help the wax form faster, place your stamp on a block of ice between stamps.
