Im searching for markers that will dry and not bead up on my seals. I had a silver & a gold one, when they were used up i sent for more.. same company, same colors.. but this time they wont stay on the seals. They bead up and vanish. So then i bought a package w full colors that said it was for stamps and it did the same thing. I use my stamps on a product i make. I need something that will work. Any suggestions or help would be sooo great! Thank u in advance💜

I want something simple because she is a begginer, it would be mainly for sealing letters to decorate professional letters she sends for like clients and stuff, do you guys have a recomendation? Preferably something under 50$ usd because my contra has a HUGE import tax on products over 50 dollars

I have been tasked with creating a replica of a historical document with a wax seal. Does anyone have any advice on how to recreate the wax seal? I’m unable to find a better representation of his personal seal and what it looked like, but at this point my only idea is to apply a clear wax over this in the same shape.

I buy off Amazon and don’t get any specific brand, but I was looking to get more wax and the price variations make me hesitant to buy. What brand is a decent wax for a good price? And what type of wax should I keep an eye out for to try?

Hello! I'm just starting out putting wax seals on my mail and they're beautiful! The only thing is - sometimes they don't make it to the address. It looks like it either peeled off or just fell off the envelope since it didn't adhere properly. What am I doing wrong? Any tips for a beginner is also welcome and greatly appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!

ETA - thank you all SO MUCH for the suggestions and help! I'm definitely going to try again with your help

ICT could use some good vibes and warm condolences for the souls lost on that flight 💔 take care of your brain and avoid the controversial comment sections like i am.

please avoid resharing the videos and accident photos out of respect for the passengers. a lot of talented figure skaters and their families/coaches who were visiting lost their lives. reddit can be quite the echo chamber of ideas so try not to feed into negative rhetoric or conspiracies.

every major event we see recently makes me thrust myself into art and sharing creative things, it’s healing to draw, paint, and craft your way through these complicated feelings of grief and sadness when random bad things happen to good people.

that’s all. thanks for the love whenever i post and interact here, it’s always appreciated more than y’all know.

Hello, I have a question: is there’s any where I can get a custom silver stamp head? I’ve been looking for one for a friend of mine, their ENTIRE aesthetic is black and silver. So I’ve been looking for a place that making silver/ steel wax heads that isn’t the gold or brass heads. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I love of hiding rubber ducks on cruise ships. That got expensive so I started making rubber duck wax seals and putting a magnet on them. I love giving them away and making people smile.

Going on the Comic-Con cruise so I had some custom geek seals made.

I’m trying to 3d print a wax stamper for my sister’s wedding invitations. Has anyone used ASA before for the stamp? I’ve seen others on here use PLA or PETG, but I’m not sure which would be best to keep the wax from sticking to the stamp. Any tips to keep it from sticking?

I’ve never done wax seals before but it looks like a load of fun and I’m looking around for kits etc to get my feet wet. Excuse my ignorance, I have some questions, or if there’s a beginners corner, please point me there!

1. I noticed there are ALL sorts of wax types out there, from sticks for glue gun, to little wax cube things, to wax sticks with a wick(do candles work?)… is one better than the other? the glue gun sort seems useful so one doesn’t need to keep getting tea lights, does it need special glue guns or the cheap glue guns will work? Preference?
2. I saw so many colorful stamps! Like within a single stamp, there’s flowers and birds and water of all different colors! Are those details painted in afterwards? If so, what is used to paint/color them in?
3. DIY stamps? I have access to a 3D printer, would it be possible to make my own stamps? Or would the heat melt the printed plastic before doing any good?

I feel like I should've chosen a darker color for the kitty for more contrast, but I'm still very happy with how it turned out 😊

Hi! I’m looking to create an elongated floral shaped wax seal ~1x4”… is this even possible? I’ve only seen stampers in the classic square/circle shape and can’t seem to find anything on google.

Thank you!

Greetings! This is maybe a bit of an edge case for what this sub is supposed to be for, but given that I am working with sealing wax I figure y'all would probably be able to offer the best advice.

I'm turning into a big Warhammer 40k fan and I think it'd be cool to affix a purity seal (something like this) to my backpack. The seal would be no more than 5cm in diameter. The biggest problem with this is that I'm scared it'll melt and create a huge mess if I leave it out during summertime. I'm planning on using regular sealing wax that I have on hand from a different project. Would this be a bad idea? If so, is there a better material I can use to achieve a similar effect?

Got a couple new stamps, marker set, and wax colors! Would like to get more markers, anyone have any suggestions? Layering was way more fun and less stressful than I imagined, I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle it haha.

Also any suggestions on a white marker/paint pen? Some of the new wax I bought has wonderful colors but is absolutely horrible to work with even though it is the most expensive I have bought so far. The shape is paws and it takes forever to melt but cools extremely quickly, sometimes even getting lumpy as I pour. It also doesn’t always even show the full stamp and the markers won’t show up well on it. So that’s no fun but lesson learned.

I ordered a custom stamp from Papier Plume and it took a while to come because the blanks were on backorder, but it came today and I think I love it.

Hi everyone! My fiancee and I are looking to get a custom stamp (for actual wax) made ahead of our wedding. We want it for invites, but also to use going forward. Is there anyone who’s making custom stamp heads?

EDIT:

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!! We’re going to look through the options, and we’ll let y’all know what we decide on/post the finished product when we have it.

I'm a new WaxSealer and having a challenge.

I bought my first set of stamps off Etsy. They came with the wax pellets and metallic marker.

I've noticed the gold metallic marker rubs off.

I'll be using these seals on letters, and sending from the UK to to America.

My fear is that by the time the letters arrive, the gold will have partially or completely be rubbed off.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what pen brand (must be gold) to use that does not rub off, please?

I don't mind odours.

Thank you in advance :-)
