Review on πŸ”΄ TELOSMA Star Sealing Wax Beads: Blood Red Envelope Stamp Seals, 100pcs by Carol Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm not sure about the blue wax.

I'm a bit surprised that this sealing wax has such good reviews. I bought the blue one and the color is great, very exactly like the picture. The wax beads are bigger than any others I've bought which is great too. The problem is that it takes a long time to cool down. I started using a blue bead with a few other colors and noticed that the wax is taking a little longer than usual to harden enough for me to remove the stamp. I didn't realize the blue wax was the problem until I tried it on my own. I kept testing the stamp the first time and left it longer than usual when I realized the stamp wasn't set, but then the stamp got stuck. When I finally put the stamp on, the wax got stuck in it. It took a lot of effort to get the wax out. My second try using only blue wax confirmed that it was the problem. I immediately pulled the stamp out as soon as I thought the image might be stable, although the sides of the print were clearly still too warm. I ended up with a bit of wax on the stamp and threads of wax from the seal. Overall, this wax is a lot harder to use than others I've tried, and it's easy to get a messy seal.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
