Review on ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Hestya Octagon Sealing Candles Melting: Superior Quality and Performance! by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The melting spoon will get hot so use an oven mitt

I started with the wax candle method (the burner I got on Revain works great and fits the spoon perfectly!) after about 5 maybe 6 wax seals in . I had to use a nursing pad as an oven mitt hahahaha but it worked! I bought the wax boiler/melting kettle you see in the salon for leg waxing, for several seals and during the day when I had the chance (I also bought the Salon Sundry pot at Revain). All of this worked better for me because it took me a whole day to seal less than 50 invites because I have small houses! I worked on it whenever I had the opportunity. The sealing wax worked really well in the Crucible and I placed it over the clear plastic seals that came with the invites I ordered. A couple of my seals looked weird so I took them off the disc, put them in the pot and started over. My stamp took about 3 beads because it's on the larger side. I would definitely buy it again, the only reason it gets 4 stars from me and not 5 is because the spoon gets hot and isn't good for more than a few poultices at a time. If you only have a few seals to craft a spoon/candle, that's great. If you want to make multiple prints and work on them when you have the opportunity during the day, a melting pot.
