How to Deal with the Leftover Sealing Wax of the Melting Spoon & How to Clean the Spoon
When we make wax seal, if we use a spoon to melt the sealing wax, it is inevitable that some wax will be left in the spoon and we need to clean the spoon before we melt another color of sealing wax. Today Skip the Moon is going to share :
how to handle the remaining sealing wax in the melting spoon and how to clean the spoon quickly and easily.
You can judge which of the following methods to choose based on how much sealing wax is left in the spoon.
1. Changing to a Smaller Size Wax Seal Stamp
When there is a lot of seal wax left but not enough for one more wax seal, you can use up the wax by changing to a smaller size wax seal stamp. This smaller wax seal may not be used right now, but it will always look better than a pile of unshaped wax, and it will not interfere with the secondary melting of the sealing wax.
2.Use a Small Silicone Spoon to Scoop out the Rest of the Wax
If there is not much sealing wax left in the spoon and you don't want to change to a smaller size wax seal stamp for an extra wax seal, you can use a small silicone spoon to scoop out the rest of the wax. The silicone spoon is soft and can easily scrape off the melted seal wax, and then the wax can be easily removed from the spoon when it cools. Again, these sealing wax blocks do not affect the secondary use.
3. Use a Silicone Pen to Make Wax Seal Floats
If there's really not much sealing wax left in the spoon, but you still think it's a waste to just wipe it off, you can use a silicone pen to make wax seal floats. when I'm melting sealing wax, I always keep a piece of release paper next to me to make wax seal floats, that way I can make individual colors or even rainbow-colored wax seal floats along the way, instead of taking the time to make them separately.
However, even if you have tried to use up all the excess wax in the spoon, there will still be some sealing wax left in the spoon that needs to be cleaned up before you can use the spoon to melt another color of wax.Here Skip the Moon shares:
how to clean the wax melting spoon easily and quickly.
In fact, the treatment of the remaining wax in front is the first step to clean the spoon. Next, you just need to wipe the inside and outside of the spoon with a paper tissue while the spoon is still hot and the sealing wax is still melted.
It should be noted that please use dry paper towels to wipe, some people are afraid of being burned by the spoon to use wet paper towels or rags to wipe the spoon, but the wet paper towels will make the sealing wax cool quickly and difficult to clean, if you are afraid of being burned you can fold the paper towels in multiple layers before wiping.
These are the tips Skip the Moon shared today on how to dispose of leftover sealing wax and how to clean the scoop easily and quickly.
