Glue Gun Sealing Wax is the modern-day version of sealing wax. Ideal for large projects, it is completely flexible and mailable and it'ss a snap to make a large amount of seals in a short period of time. Our glue gun wax is made from genuine wax, with colors that are vibrant and resemble genuine sealing wax - it is not a plasticized or colored glue . Our sticks fit any standard size glue gun - no specialty gun needed!
1. Insert Glue Gun Stick into any standard size 7/16" glue gun and let gun heat up. (Low melt glue guns should heat up for 5-7 minutes.)
2. Moisten your Seal (with a wet sponge,a touch of oil, or with our Stamp Pads). Pay special attention to the grooves. For best results, we recommend our metal brass seals or dies which make a clean and detailed impression and are created just for this purpose.
3. Press the trigger (or press palm trigger) and squeeze the amount of wax necessary for your seal (In low-temp guns the flow is easier to control; in hot-temp glue guns the wax will be thinner so allow a few seconds to dry)
4. Take your moistened seal and insert in the hot wax. Press firmly and then pull up (only hold in hot wax for 1-2 seconds).
5. Any threads of wax from the glue gun can be allowed to harden and then can be brushed away.
It is a good idea to practice a bit first so you will learn how to produce the right amount of wax repeatedly for the size of seal you want, and practice impressing your seal too. If you are mailing a large quantity of seals, we recommend dripping the wax on a mirror or glass surface, impress and let the seal dry. Then remove and attach your wax seal with strong peel n' stick labels or glue to your mailing piece. This avoids any spoiled pieces and is the fastest and most efficient way to create a large quantity of seals. As always, practice makes perfect and your seals will look beautiful! And remember, a wax seal does not have to be perfectly round--quite the contrary--it should look handmade.
