We prefer .AI, .EPS or .PDF vector files (editable files). A large and high-resolution .JPG will usually work (around 300dpi). We recommend high contrast black and white artwork and simple designs. Fine detail and really small lettering won't translate well onto your wax seal, so keep your typography 6pt or larger. Remember that your seal is 24 or 30 mm in diameter and circular. Read more specs here or contact us if you need a hand or want us to take a look at your artwork before you order.
-
A. Everything in the store is sold separately so that you can build your perfect wax seal stamp kit. As well as a stamp, you'll need coloured sealing wax and a way of melting your wax. You can also add a Melting Accessory Kit to your cart and save a few bucks while you're at it.
-
A. One pack of Flexible Sealing Wax Sticks makes approximately 35-50 seals when using a 24mm stamp. Always leave a little extra for practicing and wastage. A Traditional Sealing Wax Stick with Wick makes about 8-10 seals per stick.
-
A. Kustom Haus wax seal stamps are circular and 24 or 30 mm in diameter. If your design is more square-ish in nature, don't stress. You'll be surprised how good a square logo or motif looks on a circular stamp. Contact us for some advice or examples.
-
A. You can use any low-temperature Glue Gun that accepts 12mm sticks with our Flexible Sealing Wax sticks. Your glue gun doesn't need to be very hot so if you don't have a low-temp setting, make sure you unplug it from time to time to preserve its life. Your wax will stay hot for a while after the gun is unplugged. It's best not to use a gun that has already been used with glue.
-
A. We supply the gear so that you can apply wax seals directly to a surface - we don't make "peel and stick" self-adhesive seals because they just don't look as good as the real thing and tend to lift up at the edges! If you have any questions, contact us.

Sticky sealing wax is not unusual. The brass part of your stamp tends to get really hot when you produce many seals in one sitting and that causes sticking. There are a few things things you can try to combat this.
Ice.
Use a cup of ice to cool your stamp in-between impressions. You’ll be surprised by how hot the brass can get. Just make sure it’s dry before you impress it into hot wax. This should solve your problem. Heating your stamp definitely will not help!
Temperature.
Let your wax cool a little before you press your stamp into it. Your wax should never be too runny.
Let it set and cool.
Before removing your stamp, make sure the wax is well set. This can take a minute or so, again, depending on the temperature of your wax, brass seal and the weather! Blowing gently or fanning the wax can help.
