Italian Silver Plated Sealing Wax Melting Spoons LetterSeals.com

Crafted with the classic Florentine casting method and silver plated for a luxe finish, these Italian-made spoons are a must-have for every wax-sealing enthusiast! The rose handle spoon boasts a larger bowl with fluted sides for right-and-left-handed pouring, while the fleur de lys handle features a smaller bowl and a left-side fluted spout that make for precise wax placement.

1. Have a heat source available, such as our paraffin tea light
A gas stovetop burner will work in a pinch. 

These spoons are intended for use with a flame source other than platform-style wax melters (metal platform over tea candle), as the spoon bowls vary in size and may not fit the platform holes in these melters.

2. Place 3 or more wax beads, or a small amount of broken bits of wax sticks, into the spoon and hold over the heat until the wax just melts to a thick honey-like consistency.

If the wax is melted until very liquid, it will be too thin, and not take a good impression.

3. Pour the melted wax onto your project and emboss with your stamp.

Waiting a few moments before embossing may create better definition in the wax.
Experiment to find the correct waiting period for the conditions in your area.

Warm the spoon if cool to soften/melt wax residue, and wrap it inside a doubled-up paper towel (grabbing the spoon with the paper towel works best).

Spin and rub the spoon inside the towel as you push the towel into the areas you are cleaning.

All wax and soot is easily removed with this method – depending on the amount of residue you are removing you may find you will need to rewarm the spoon or use a paper towel or two.

Be careful of any hot wax on the paper towel!
