Step 11Removing Foil and Finishing Touches
After it is cooled, do not try to remove the foil. Put it into the freezer to make the wax super cold then remove the foil. If any foil remains stuck to the wax, use an X-Acto knife to cut it away.
I also melted the bottom of the wax stick and impressed my wax seal onto it...
This wax is different to use than other varieties. Mainly it differs because it has no wick. To use this wax there are 2 ways:
1: Using a butane torch, heat up the end of the wax stick until it melts. Drip the blob of melted wax onto the object you are sealing and stamp it with you seal.
2: Cut the amount of wax you want to make a seal with and place it in a spoon. Put the spoon above a small open flame (i.e. candle flame) until the wax in the spoon melts. Drip the wax in the spoon onto the document you are going to seal and stamp it with you seal.
Have fun and be safe!

I'm planning on creating mailable seals, so I'm curious to hear from someone who's got more experience on this stuff.
You can't add a wick, I've tried :(
The wick doesn't stay lit because there is not enough wax in this mixture fuel a flame. The only reason you add wax is to disrupt the stringy qualities of the hotglue.
