How can I properly use a Bortoletti Wax Lamp?

The Bortoletti Wax Lamp is both a functional and decorative piece, designed to give you precision when sealing wax. To use it effectively:

 1. Setup: Place the lamp on a stable surface. Ensure the wax is placed in the designated holder.

 2. Preheat: Allow the lamp a few minutes to evenly heat the wax. Make sure you are using a 90% or isopropyl alcohol as fuel for the lamp.

 3. Drip Wax: When the wax is fully melted (it should look glossy and fluid, but not overly runny), tilt your envelope slightly to let a controlled amount drip.

 4. Seal: Immediately press your seal tool firmly into the wax, holding it in place just long enough to capture the detail, then lift away carefully.

 This method was inspired by traditional seal-making techniques and is enhanced by our lamp’s precise temperature control Practice on scrap paper if you’re new to the process.
