Many people find that melting Wax Beads is easier than using sticks,
especially if you want to make a single wax seal. Place your beads in a
wax melting spoon, hold the spoon over your (low) heat source, slowly
melt the wax beads then pour an appropriate amount of wax onto your
Envelope, Parchment, or project and impress your seal into it.
If
you will be making a larger number of seals, you can pour these into a
low-temperature Melting Pot and use a Wax Melting Spoon - dip the melted
wax from the pot, pour it onto your paper and impress your seal stamp.
This
wax is flexible enough to send through the mail without the cracking or
breaking usually found with traditional sealing wax.
Each
package contains 3 ounces, about 250 wax beads. 3-4 beads usually works
well if you're using a small 3/4" diameter seal stamps; try 10 beads
if you're working with one our deluxe-size seal stamps. Amount of
beads needed per wax seal depends on your technique, how thick you want
your finished wax seal, and the size of your seal stamp.
