Lamenters purity seal

thingiverse

A stamp to make wax purity seals for the Lamenters. It also comes with a version of the seal itself. The text is "faithfull till the end of times" in latin (translated via google) Edit: After doing some testing to get the process figured out, here is what i found out so far: - I used wax made for hot-glue guns as candle wax is too liquid. if you want to use candle wax, put a ring of masking tape around the side and use the stamp as a mold. the following steps apply to the hotglue wax. - mold release is essential. I used the stuff made for baking molds, gave it a quick spray and wiped away most of it with a paper towel. - put the stamp upside down and pour the wax onto it. This way you are much less likely to trap air underneath. Try to get it right to edge. A little uncovered ring wont be a huge problem, but it might leave a small crease in the final product at the edge of the covered area in the finished seal. - turn the seal upside down quickly onto some baking paper and press gently down to create the characteristic squeezed out wax appearance. I used a metal surface underneath the paper to help with cooling. - LEAVE IT TO COOL. Not only is this much bigger than a normal stamp, a printed one also wont suck out the heat like a metal one would. After a few minutes it should cleanly seperate from the baking paper. - At this point i put mine in the freezer to help with cooling. This resulted in the seal seperating itself from the stamp on its own. Like the metal surface before, this might not be nessesary, but so far i didn't want to push my luck by skipping this step. I hope thise guide helps you, if you have any additional tipps sharing them in the comments would be amazing! Happy sealmaking!
