Previously, we have released some videos of making wax seal with glue gun and transparent diamond sealing wax stick, many friends question whether we use hot glue stick, if it is hot glue stick, then why the wax seal made is both transparent and not sticky stamp.

First of all, we need to explain that the video we made wax seal are using Skip the Moon special transparent diamond sealing wax stick, the production of wax seal has a high transparent non-stick chapter characteristics, can be used with 7mm glue gun or melt spoon use.

TRANSPARENT DIAMOND SEALING WAX STICKS 


Because of the unique transparent texture of the diamond sealing wax stick, it can show the color and texture of other ingredients very well, so it is perfect to match with pearl, glitter, botanical specimens and other materials to create a unique personalized wax seal, whether it is used in wedding invitations or holiday gift packaging, clear diamond sealing wax seal is the best choice.

However, it should be noted that although the clear diamond sealing wax stick looks very similar to the hot glue stick and both can be used with the glue gun, their characteristics and use scenarios are not interchangeable.

The first point is that clear diamond wax seal stick is not an adhesive and does not have bonding properties, so it cannot replace hot glue stick to bond items.

Except for making wax seal on paper products such as books and envelopes to ensure its adhesion, clear diamond sealing wax stick cannot be used for bonding on other materials and will come off very easily. Of course, this is actually an advantage of clear diamond wax seal stick, because when we make clear diamond wax seal, we do not want to see it stick to the wax stamp and not easy to release.

Secondly, hot glue sticks cannot replace clear diamond sealing wax sticks to make wax seal. As mentioned earlier, hot glue sticks are very sticky, so if you use hot glue to make wax seal, it will stick steadily to the wax seal stamp, which is hard to clean, and your beautiful and unique stamp will be wasted.

Thirdly, the color of hot glue will become white after cooling and solidifying, unlike diamond seal wax which keeps a beautiful transparent texture, which will be greatly reduced in aesthetics.
