Can I use any heat gun, for example one to melt hot silicone?
Let's see, you can, but we don't recommend it.
Because sealing wax melts with very little heat and is a delicate material. If the bar gets too hot it will be damaged and you probably won't be able to use it for your wedding stationery.
So, we recommend that you only use a special gun to melt sealing wax.
What is a sealing wax bar?
Sealing wax sticks are the material with which wax seals are made. Its texture can be similar to wax or silicone. And they can be found in dozens of colors so you can combine them with your wedding stationery.
To use sealing wax sticks you need to melt them with heat. The most comfortable thing is to do it with a low temperature gun, although you can also do it manually with a special spoon and a flame from a candle or a kitchen lighter.
How do you make a seal with wax sticks?
The first thing you have to do is melt the bar. You can do it with a special sealing gun (which is what we recommend, because it is easier and more comfortable).
If you want to do it by hand, you have to cut the bar into 1cm pieces. more or less. Each little piece will be a seal. Put one of the pieces in a special sealing spoon and melt it with a candle flame, for example. When it melts, pour the liquid on the surface where you are going to make the seal.
If you have decided to use the gun, put the liquid sealing wax in small circles, forming a spiral, until you have a circle approximately the size of the stamp.
Before it dries, place the stamp on top of the wax and press just a little and for about 10 seconds. Then, stop squeezing the seal and leave it on top of the sealing wax until it dries.
And now you have it. Now repeat the same steps for all the stamps.
How do you use the sealing heat gun?
You need heat because the bars have to melt in order to make your stamps.
You can do it with a sealing spoon and a candle or kitchen lighter. It is the most traditional way to do it, but also the one that will take the most time.
Therefore, we recommend doing it with a low temperature heat gun, because it is faster and easier. You just have to plug the gun in so it warms up, insert the rod and start pouring it.
What are double-sided wax stickers for?
To stick the stamps on envelopes, invitations or any other element of wedding stationery.
So you can make the seals on a non-stick sheet (like a sheet of baking paper, for example) and when it dries well you can stick them with the double-sided sealing adhesive wherever you want.
The advantage is that you can do tests until you have practice and they come out perfect. Plus, you don't run the risk of ruining the wedding stationery if the wax seal goes wrong.
