Everything in the store is sold separately so that you can build your perfect kit. As well as a wax seal stamp, you'll need coloured sealing wax and a tool for melting your wax. You can also add a Melting Accessory Kit to your cart and save a few bucks while you're at it.

One stick of Flexible Sealing Wax makes approximately 7 to 10 seals. Always leave a extra for wastage. A Traditional Sealing Wax Stick with Wick makes about 8-10 seals per stick.

Yes! Kustom Haus Wax Seal Stamps come in several shapes. Browse the store menu for options.

You can use any low-temperature Glue Gun that accepts 11 or 12 mm sticks with our Flexible Sealing Wax sticks. It's best not to use a gun that has already been used with glue, or you'll get glue in your wax seals.

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, the brass and room temperature. Blowing gently or fanning the wax can help cool it.

We're a retail store and crafter of wax seal stamps, we don't wholesale our gear.

Stationery designers, letterers and other retailers purchase on behalf of their clients and pay the same retail price and receive the same top-notch level of service that every other customer receives.

Since stamp and seal production is as much a service as it is a product, our prices include labour and set-up as well as the cost of the hardware itself. The price also includes subsidised or partially subsidised shipping costs.

To maintain our speed, turnaround and high level of service we prefer to work directly with our customers rather than going through a third party. It's easier for everyone!

No, we don't. Making wax seal stamps is noisy business and we're not always at the studio. If you have a question you can email us or live chat with us. We're usually pretty fast to get back to you during business hours.

We generally don't offer design services. We can sometimes accommodate a special request depending on complexity and how busy we are. Make a request or choose a personalised wax seal stamp option instead.

No, we won't send you a quote. If you'd like a price just add the items you're interested in to your shopping cart. You can get an accurate shipping cost at the checkout without having to make a payment.
