Review on πŸ”₯ Triwol Wax Seal Warmer: The Perfect Kit for Melting Wax Seal Sticks & Beads by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works very well with sticky wax

Of all the heating pads, I find this the best of a bad batch. It doesn't generate much heat as the candle is quite a distance from the bottom of the spoon when resting on the melter. Now I use wax pellets and I never get a very thin melt because there is little heat. I land over an open candle flame where I can dip my spoon right into the hottest part of the flame. I have devised a system where I soften pellets on this heater and another pellet I finish over a candle. Here is the selection of granules I use. The spoon that comes with it is surprisingly good! Won't burn fingers like in this set if fingers come off tree; significant. In fact, I like it better than the one that comes with this burner as there is more surface area exposed to the heat because it's flat. ref=bmx_3?pd_rd_w=Dieni&pf_rd_p=b56a886c-2bb4-4e74-b4cf-23d7a76693c8&pf_rd_r=KTXY4ZR26F172HBST9Q7&pd_rd_r=0d6b61b4-bf89-4d10-9a3a-a671786ee72e&pd_rd_wg=PJENz&pd_rd_i=B07NSTBY5B&psc=1Candles with this burner are a problem. They are ΒΌ inch high and this helps with slow melting since the heat source is so far from the spoon. I use these tea lights (1/2 inch high). Clean Burn; long (about 4 hours). Great quality and I can only recommend it. Be careful of the shallow water of the reservoir. It's so shallow that even if you fill it to the brim with melted wax (take a vacation, it melts for a LONG time because that thing is so anemic, less hot than a candle) you can't pour anything out . due to the curvature of the spoon. (This heating pad is actually an extension tool for a barber and not intended for use with sealing wax. The vertical cylinder holds the glue stick. The speed bump in the center makes things worse when trying to dip in melted wax. Such a non-starter!) https://smile .amazon.com/melting-furnace-VIHOME-electric-Melting/dp/B07R2CD5F2/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=wax+melter+%27sealing+wax%27&qid=1618361257&sr= 8-9 a candle in a $1 vase, and when that wick burns out, I pick up the candle with the pillbox lids, etc. Between this and this heating pad, it takes me no more than 5 minutes to make a seal (I use a tablet; my seal is Β½ inch in diameter) and I can get into the rhythm. but, as I said, this is the best of a very bad bunch.
