Sealing Wax Melting Spoon
27Our melting spoon easily holds enough wax for our large 1.1" - 2" round seals.
At 8.5" long, the long wood insulating handle will keep your hand away from the heat source.
The metal will not soften during prolonged use.
1. Have a heat source available, such as our soot free soy candle.
A gas stove top burner will work in a pinch
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 seal.
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.
- Useful for large or small projects.
- It is easy to practice seals on aluminum foil, parchment paper, or silcone mat, then remelt the wax in the melting spoon to use again.
- Create new colors and marbling effects by melting colors together.
To clean the Melting Spoon:
Warm the spoon if cool to soften/melt wax residue, and wrap 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!

United StatesWhat A Difference
I’d been putting wax seals on personal notes for years, but just now started using a spoon to melt the wax (instead of heating the wax directly). What a difference. The quality of the wax when heated indirectly is loads better. No soot or discoloration, easy pour, I don’t burn myself, I don’t inadvertently set the wax on fire. I can’t believe I lived without it for so long. I use it over my gas stove. A must-have if you like putting wax seals on letters.
United StatesGreat tool for sealing wax
Spoon arrived within expected time in a neatly packaged envelope. It was slightly bigger than I anticipated, but I am enjoying how it doesn't show signs of being charred like some of the other spoons I've tried in the past. Great product!
Melting Spoon
The melting spoon was a little larger than what I "pictured" so this was nice. When changing your catalog material, you might show a ruler beside the spoon so viewers can get a nice visual image of it. Have tried it twice and it works great. Thanks!
Excellent
Built well and works great!
Beyond any expectations
I had ordered two sticks of the brittle sealing wax and a melting spoon to repair some of my old Christmas ornaments. The clip and spun glass tails has come apart over the years. The repair process was easy, and I'll know what I'm doing in the future. What impressed me most was the attention to packing, the attractive way of packing, and the gratitude expressed for supporting small business. That is seen so little that I was blown away when the package arrived. Thank you for a great product and for exceeding any expectations I had.
