What is the sealing gun used for?

The sealing gun is used to melt the sealing bars and, thus, be able to apply the sealing wax in an easy and more comfortable way.

The sealing gun or low temperature heat gun is a tool that is plugged into a light and is heated to a temperature of 120 degrees. It is ideal, because when heated at a low temperature it does not damage the sealing wax sticks. And, what's more, you can make your stamps easily, quickly and safely. Without the risk of burning yourself and you will be able to control the amount you need to do the sealing.

How do you make a seal with a sealing gun?

You have to connect the gun to electricity to warm it up. Insert the sealing wax stick and press the trigger so that it pushes the stick and it melts.

To pour the liquid sealing wax you must form small circles, making a spiral, until you are approximately the size of your sealing wax seal.

Before it dries, place the stamp on top of the wax and press just a little and for about 10 seconds. Then, you leave it on top until the sealing wax dries.

You already have your first stamp. Now repeat the same process until you have all the ones you need.

Why do sealing wax sticks need a special gun?

Well, because flexible sealing wax sticks are made of a material similar to silicone, but it is not. And if the bars get too hot, the sealing can be damaged, lose quality and will not turn out as well as you want.

And even if the bar melts at a very high temperature, the seal can split.

Sealing guns are heated to 120 degrees and silicone guns are heated to twice as high.

Can I use a glue gun?

You can use them but your stamps may not turn out as well as you expected. The difference is in the heat reached by a silicone glue gun and sealing wax guns.

Sealing wax is also called low temperature, because it only heats up to 120 degrees and silicone ones reach up to 240 degrees. If it is too hot, the sealing wax sticks can be damaged and the seals can break.

Can I use sealing wax sticks of any size?

For this gun, the diameter should be between 10 to 12 mm. If it is smaller, you may not have enough pressure to reach the bottom of the gun and melt the wax stick properly. And if it's wider, it won't fit inside the gun.

What are the advantages of the low temperature sealing gun compared to the traditional method of sealing with a flame?

The main advantage is that with a gun there is no danger of burning yourself, it is faster to melt the sealing wax sticks and also easier to make the stamps.

The traditional method will take more work, because the first thing you need to do is break the bar into 1 cm pieces. Wide. Each piece is to make a seal. Next, you need a special sealing spoon and an element with a flame such as a candle, a kitchen lighter or a lighter. To melt each piece of sealing wax, you must put it on the spoon and place it over a flame. When it has melted, pour the liquid sealing wax on a surface and then make the seal.

On the other hand, with the gun, you just have to wait until it is hot to melt the sealing wax stick and pour the liquid where you want to make the seal.

Who is responsible if my order is delayed?

When your order leaves our facilities and we leave it in the hands of the courier service, the responsibility for ensuring that you receive it within the time stipulated for your destination and in perfect condition lies with the Parcel Company.
