How do I troubleshoot issues like uneven seals or cracked wax?

Even the finest wax can yield uneven results if conditions aren’t optimal. Here are some tips using Bortoletti products:

Temperature Adjustments: Ensure your sealing wax is heated to the proper consistency. If the wax is too hot, the impression may be messy; if too cool, the wax might harden too quickly, causing cracks.

Timing: Allow the wax a few seconds to cool before stamping so it isn’t overly liquid. If you stamp too soon after dripping, uneven impressions or incomplete designs may result.

Stamp Temperature: A cold stamp can help produce a sharper seal. If you notice your Bortoletti stamp is warm from prior use, allow it to cool—perhaps placing it on a cool, flat surface for a minute.

Review Techniques: Check out our instructional videos and guides that demonstrate how to achieve the perfect wax consistency and stamp technique with Bortoletti products.

Employing these troubleshooting tips will help you consistently produce premium wax seals.
