  • This Wax Seal Stamp box-set gets my...
    ... seal of approval.
    Yes.
    Thank you, I'm here all week.
    After searching high and low for the best set on Etsy, I'm quite confident that I've found it.
    Watch the unboxing and then my first attempt at using it.
    The shop is based in Southern China and the seller is very friendly, responsive, and eager to provide the best service possible. I took the slow shipping option, and it took exactly a month to reach me here in Central Europe.

    Specifically the option I took was Option K, and the colour of wax I went for was #24.

    Nicely done! A return to the art deco concept of beauty in everyday things, so much grander than email. Nicely done on the videography as well!

      Thank you Geoffrey! It seems a shame to let go of beautiful traditions completely just because we have ready-made convenient alternatives!

      I don't know how if there's much truth to this, but I've heard that schools here in the US are no longer requiring children to learn cursive/script writing.

    I love a wax seal stamp! I find keeping the stamp in the fridge or pressing it into the frost of a freezer can make the stamp release quicker and the seal image sharper.
    You might also like to mix colours of your wax pellets for nice aesthetics and a bit of colour magic if that's your thing.
    Love your content, my preferred bookseller thanks you, my bank account does not! Lol

    I think with wax, taking it off the heat slightly sooner is best for preventing bubbles, but if they happen, pop them with a thin needle or pin.

      I've seen people snip the wick of the candle to create a gentler flame, I think that would help to have a more gradual heat exchange, and melt everything before the temperature gets too high
