Flexible Sealing Wax

[negirl]

Hi I love sealing wax, but have only the old-fashioned type. What companies make flexible sealing wax and what are your favorite brands and colors?

Happy 2011!

J Herbin and Atelier Gargoyle .... I suggest you use the advanced search for previous posts.

Letterseals.com. They make their own wax and have good pricing. They also have a wide range of colors and types: sticks, for glue guns, and beads to melt in a spoon. They carry other brands as well.

My favourite is Atelier Gargoyle wax, and I've sent it through the mails many times. As for color, the traditional red is my preferred, but I also like gold and bronze or copper. I don't care for pastel or light colored shades at all.

 

I have also used J. Herbin waxes, and they are my second choice. I use the original J. Herbin for my traditional wax, in red, and I have quite a bit of it.

 

Considering I literally have boxes full of both Atelier Gargoyle and J. Herbin sealing waxes, I don't think I'll look to other manufacturers for a while. Both Atelier and Herbin have been very satisfactory for me. It is still good to know there are others like Letterseals out there, though.

Sadly, the USPS TOTALLY thrashes external wax seals and also manages to eat and crumble seals on the letter, too. The machinery has repeatedly scraped seals off the envelope. One recipient told me that 95% of the seal was gone. This applies to the mail compatible waxes, too. I have to pad the envelope or use them on hand delivery non USPS delivery.

 

I also found www.Nostalgicimpressions.com

They have a line of interchangeable seals that are deep and make wonderful impressions. Shallowly engraved seals don't produce the best impressions.

I've just posted Here some pictures of a flexible sealing wax I bought from nostalgicimpressions. It looks resistant
