Tips:
When using sealing wax with the glue gun, allow wax to warm up for 2 to 5 minutes, pressing the trigger time to time so that the wax stick is moved forward (you may need to introduce a second stick of wax to push forward the preceding one). Be careful as the gun will get very hot, especially near the nozzle. Lightly squeeze the trigger to apply wax to the surface to be sealed. It is not necessary to spread the wax, some pressure is enough. For a wax seal, 3 squeezes on average should make a 24mm diameter wax disc. Soak your tool with the brass disc in ice-cold water and wipe. Immediately apply a strong vertical pressure with the disc onto the wax. Let it rest on the wax for a few seconds, being careful not to move it until the wax is firmer. Remove the disc gently by slightly tilting, then lifting. Cool your tool in iced water after making each wax seal.
