Loved it! Tips for beginners like me:

This wax is great! We used it to seal our wedding invitations. They turned out to be perfect, although they were initially skeptical based on previous reviews. Here's my advice: Wax sticks should be full-size. A mini glue gun will not work. I bought an Elmers Craft Bond glue gun (for .43 size sticks) and it worked great! Instead of using the base built into the glue gun, I placed mine in a cardboard box with the nozzle down. The high temperature glue gun caused some of the wax to be pushed back from the side where the sticks entered as they lay on the stand. - Put the stamp seal on hold for a few seconds before each stamping! This is SO important. Don't mess with the cooking spray offer or anything - it doesn't work. - If you are using a stamp to seal the ribbon around the invitation, make sure you put wax paper or something else under the ribbon/stamp. If not, the wax will seal the invitation. At first we tried it but we didn't like how it looked. We had a custom seal made (0.75 inch) and I used melted wax about 0.75 inch in diameter to stamp each invitation. Allow the wax to dissolve for a few seconds before stamping to get a nice edge - no need to press hard when sealing. ! This was the first time I've made wax seals. So if anyone else is new to this, I hope this review helps you!
