UNIQOOO Arts & Crafts 180 Pcs Metallic Silver Box Sealing Wax Beads Nuggets for Wax Seal Stamp, Great for Embellishment of Cards Envelopes, Wedding Invitations, Wine Packages, Gift Wrapping

I deducted a star because the wax was not as brightly colored as it appeared online; it's still lovely, but not the Christmas red I was hoping for. br>br>For those who gave it one star because it ruined their seal stamp; Even if you don't get your stamp wet before using it, any wax can ruin it. br>br>Saturate a paper towel in water and tie it in a small bow. After pressing the stamp into the paper towel, lightly set it on a dry paper towel before pressing it into the wax. This keeps the water on your stamp's indentations while removing it from the flat surface. br>You should ALWAYS do this before placing stamp into wax to ensure it comes out looking great every time. br>br>I haven't mailed this yet, so I'm not sure how it will hold up, but I've also had the same exact wax go to different family members in the same town and one arrived in pristine condition while the other arrived as a blob. It's not always possible to avoid the USPS.

I had purchased two types of wax for my wedding invitations, one of which was proving to be trouble-free - dripping, pressing, and finished- So I set it aside when I ran out of the other wax before finishing all of my invitations. br>However, when I ran out of the other wax before finishing all of my invitations, I became desperate and began experimenting. br>It appeared that the wax was becoming hotter. When I pressed the stamp down and waited a few moments before removing it, it began to work really well. br>It's a lovely shade of blue. br>In fact, I was disappointed that I didn't use more of this wax for the invitations. I'm sure I'll get this type again now that I know what to expect.

The color and quality are both excellent. Customer service was excellent as well. The quality was excellent, and the delivery was much quicker than I had anticipated. I'll be back to buy more!.

I spent a lot of time and effort making them very authentic and believable last year, so this year I wanted to go even further by including an official North Pole wax seal! I'm so glad I took the chance! One thing I'll say, which I discovered after redoing about ten of them, lol. Just before using the stamp, place it on an ice pack (and between standings if you're doing multiple stamps at once). This will make it easier for the stamper to release from the wax without ripping any of it! My next purchase will be a monogrammed item. ❤️.

To keep the wax from sticking to your stamp, cool the stamp on ice between stamps with this type of wax. I was successful in completing all of my envelopes. I really like the color of the wax, and it was a breeze to apply with the extra tip. However, I reduced my rating to four stars because I still prefer the previous type of wax I used, which did not require this extra step. It may not appear to be much, but when you're doing a lot of envelopes, the time between them adds up quickly. br>br>For our wedding invitations, I used a different brand of wax and had no issues. This wax smelled awful. It becomes uncomfortably hot and flimsy. It tears the envelope apart and adheres to the stamp. Other reviews suggested waiting longer than usual to cool it down, but that didn't work for me. Unless you wait five minutes for it to cool, which would take an eternity if you were making a large batch of envelopes. I'm going to revert to my previous brand. What a nightmare.

  These were purchased in preparation for sending out Valentine's Day cards. I have wax seal sticks, but I thought the pearlescent crimson beads would be a nice change of pace. The wax beads melted quickly and turned out to be quite attractive. Unfortunately, the wax stuck to the seal once it was resting on the pool of melted wax, making it impossible to remove the seal without also ripping the wax off the envelope. I tried several times and each time it stuck, and when I finally removed the seal, some of the melted wax stuck to the seal, ripping the envelope in the process. I used the wax sticks I already had and the melting, pouring, and seal removal went without a hitch. It's obvious that the wax beads are the source of the problem.

The package was delivered in a standard bubble envelope that was not insulated. I wasn't concerned because the beads were wax and melted at high temperatures. However, I expected these beads to be the colors shown in the pictures, and when I first opened the package, I couldn't tell the difference between the blues, greens, and reds unless I looked very closely. The lime green and true green appear to be the same color, and the raspberry and ruby wine appear to be the same color. Lavender is the only one that stands out from the rest, and that's only because it's a different color. br>br>It took four beads to make a one-inch seal, and the tea candle took about two minutes to melt.

Two beads sufficed for one seal, and they melted quickly when placed over a tea light. When peeling/opening the invite, the seals appear to be quite sturdy; I'll definitely keep these in mind for my next project.
