Wax Seal Sticks, ANBOSE 16 Pieces Glue Gun Sealing Wax Sticks for Wax Seal Stamp, Champagne Gold Wax Seal Stick for 0.44 Inch Glue Gun, for Weddin...

Still getting used to but works pretty good

I got these to try out on a project I have where I need to make some red seals. I saw these and I liked the darker red shown here on the ZeeBooth store page. However when they arrived I had to double check that I had the correct color. What I have is more of a darker metallic orange-brown than a wine red, or what is shown on the website. It doesn't really come across as red to me. So I'll be off to find just the right red color of wax for my purposes. These are glue gun melt wax sticks. While that works, I don't want to buy a glue gun just to dedicate to wax seals. I also don't want to bother with trying to melt a blob off the stick, so I cut a chunk off the stick and melted it in a melt spoon. It melts fairly quickly. I was able to melt enough for a single stamp in about 1 minute or so, maybe a little longer. Which is comparable to most pellet waxes I've used. I did my tests on printer paper. The wax bonds with the paper extremely well. To the point it begins to tear the paper if you try pealing it off. While it bonds to the paper well it doesn't grip the stamp excessively and the stamps are fairly easy to pull out of the cooled wax. The completely cooled stamp feels a bit stiffer and less flexible than seals made with pellet wax. That doesn't mean they feel like they are in danger of cracking or breaking easily, Just a little less flexible. If you have a big bunch of letters or other items you want wax seals on this would be a very good option for you as a hot glue gun will be much easier and faster in the long run. However if you only want to seal one or two items these will not be as good, unless you want to cut them up for use in a melt spoon. You get a lot of wax sticks in the package, so it is a fairly reasonable price. You get 16 sticks and I estimate you should be able to get at least 20 stamps out of each stick, giving you at least 320 stamps per package. Coming out to around 3.5 -3.75 cents per stamp.

These wax seal sticks are a very interesting way to melt wax for seals, compared to using a stick of wax and a lighter. You just put them into a hot glue gun and then pull a trigger to melt wax and thn seal it. It's very convenient and the wax looks very good. I like this method so much better that I've designated my hot glue gun to only be used for wax from now on. Great product.

We use these white glue sticks as wax seals, they work. Our daughter loves making seals but is always short on the color white. White is in high demand since it's used to make so many color combinations. She takes these sticks and just cuts them with scissors and melts them with her other wax beads. They combine well, no issues. They are also not hard to cut and with 16 sticks they should last her awhile. Hopefully this information helps with your purchasing decision.

I had some time yesterday morning and it was something i kept meaning to do, so why not. The process took a few to trial and error, but i like them. I purposely did them on a silicone mat, as they were just trial pieces, and then i decided to try some metallic paints, and decorate a few. Pretty groovy. Next step, see if i can seal one in epoxy, without the epoxy melting it, lol
