TIPS AND TRICKS

- If your wax is bubbling then its a sign that the was is too hot!Turn off your wax melting gun and continute to use until you can no longer get any wax out and turn on again.

- Our GAME CHANGER using a bowl of frozen water to cool your stamper down between stamping. This will prevent your stamper sticking to the wax and allow for super speedy stamping! Just make sure you properly dry your stamper before using it.

- When your making your stamps if you get some funky lines on the seal this is because you arent pressing down quicky and firmly.For smoother stamps make sure you press down as quickly and as firmly as you can. This is why we love upgrading to our gold handles as they have more weight to them so they help to keep the seals smoother.

STEP ONE - HEATING

Insert the wax sticks into the melting gun and wait until the wax starts dripping. If your struggling to get the wax out, this is because wax will of dried in the end of the gun, just allow it to heat up properly and apply pressure to the trigger.

STEP TWO - POURING

Ensure to squeeze the wax out of the melting gun into a circle shape, just making it a little smaller than your wax stamper.We normally do a little less that one full squeeze of the melting wax gun.

STEP THREE - STAMPING

Take your stamper from the bowl of ice and ensure your dry it properly so there is no water on the stamper.Then quickly and firmly press your sealing stamper onto the wax. If your stamper if fully cold you should be able to pull it straight off easily and you should be able to get 3-4 seals out of one cool before it gets to hot and needs to go back onto the ice.We normally do 3-4 blobs of wax so you can do them all together.

STEP FOUR - STICKING

See and enjoy your wax seal!When sealing you can either do it direcly onto your project or make them in multiples on ourwax sealing mat and apply our adhesive stickersso you can stick them onto your project.
