Hello! I’m fairly new to wax sealing and have been practising because I’ve started using wax seals on letters I send to pen pals.

I’m particularly wondering how people manage to get their wax seals almost perfectly round. Mine tend to come out a little uneven or irregular around the edges, and I’d love to know if there are any particular techniques, amounts of wax, temperatures or types of wax that help with getting a neat, round seal.

I’d also be very grateful for any other tips or advice you think would be useful for someone who is just starting out! I’m hoping to make my letters feel quite beautiful and old-fashioned, so I’d love to improve my technique as much as possible.

Thank you! :)
