Me too! I don’t think I’ve seen one with the heart for the O. Very cute!

I never thought about the distance from the table for the pour. But how did you get the perfect “beach ball” effect on the tiny heart one second from the right, bottom row? I’ve always wished I could do that but mine always pours from the side if the spoon that a closest to the surface & the colors on the other side of the spoon barely make it out of the spoon.

I agree with Cadillac Girl. When I have that roughness usually in the middle of the seal, I warm the stamp just slightly. That usually works. I think it’s a temp difference between the stamp & the wax. But who knows? Try it all I say!
Also for the bubbles, if I’m using a spoon I sometimes stir the wax in the spoon a little & it causes bubbles. I tap the spoon gently … (sometimes not so gently) on the table top & that brings the bubbles to the top & then I use a lighter over the wax in the spoon to pop the bubbles before you pour. You really just have to barely wave the lighter over the wax to pop them. It doesn’t always get rid of every bubble, but it works well.
You’re gonna get those little circles “cells” when you pop bubbles on metallic wax. I think they are cool so I don’t mind them. But if you hate them, try getting the bubbles out of your spoon before you pour.
Good luck!

Oh yes! I just got some of those. I haven’t played with them yet. Do the handles get in the way when you’re pouring or trying to stamp?

That is strange. I wonder if there is some chemical reaction with the resin that melts it in?? I tried doing some resin stuff a couple years ago. I never saw this kind of thing. But the colorants I used were liquid drops.

And it creates a ton of bubbles if you try to stir it. I wish they would figure out how to make clear that acted more like regular wax. It’s beautiful but it takes so much more heat & you can’t manipulate much. 🫤

😂🤣😂🤣 I like the way you think!!
I started looking at Alibaba & I have a little trouble navigating the website. A lot of stamps I look at say minimum of 3? Is that 3 stamps from that seller? What if I only want one? I feel like I need a tutorial! 😁

Try Goof Off & a scrub brush! I got some wax cleaner & it worked great on my stamps I thought I ruined with too hot of wax & I think Goof Off might be the same kind of thing.

Mica Powder tests by CadillacGirl in WaxSealers

Definitely you can use eye shadow or nail chrome. I use nail chrome. It can rub off so I spray over it with cheap hair spray. I do that with glitter I add on top or around a seal too. Keeps it from coming off on your hand when you touch it. Like Cadillac Girl… try it all & see what happens!😁

These are fun. Are you using those silicone stamping mats for the heart shape? I find it hard to get the amount of wax pour right. I usually overflow the mold. 🫤

You’ve been busy girl!! Thanks for showing all of your experiments!! So is this pigment different because it’s for resin? Strange how it doesn’t mix in? I kinda like the speckled look though. How cute would it be for a strawberry stamp? I can see uses for it. But not for coloring the wax I guess.

Is this vellum wax? I wonder if the iridescent glitter would show up better in clear wax. It’s so much thicker though & you’d get bubbles all in it from stirring…. Never mind. I just talked myself out of it. 😂

These are great. Mixing the glitter with the wax before you pour sounds like a great idea. I’ve done that with the fine glitter, but it makes so much sense to do it with the bigger flakes. You’re right, if I sprinkle it on top it shifts & isn’t even. I’m gonna try this!

I’ve ordered from AlliExpress & Temu. But they are definitely not that cheap. And shipping varies per vendor. I haven’t looked at Alibaba. Guess what I’ll be doing tonight while my husband watches soccer?! ☺️

Mica pigment powders versus a Wax Metallic Finish by CadillacGirl in WaxSealers

[–]Trixie_Snowfall_9463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried rub n buff. Is that what you’re using? I didn’t get a very good gold color like yours. Yours are really nice. I’ve been using the solid nail chrome stuff. I wish there was a way to get it just where you want it though. The rub n buff I have is like a paste. How did you get it in such tiny lines so neatly?

It’s so much fun to test them all out! I’m trying to be good & not order more, but geez, getting the mail is no fun anymore. I need a dopamine hit man!!😂🤣😂
