5 Tips for Using Bottle Sealing Wax
Bottle sealing wax creates a secure seal to protect bottled goods, including beer, wine, honey, mead and maple syrup. Getting the seal right can make your product stand out from the competition and give it a unique aesthetic edge. While it may take a little practice and precision, bottle dipping is easy once you know how to do it. Keep reading to learn a few tips for using bottle sealing wax.
1. Choose Your Wax
To get started, select your wax. Our bottle sealing wax creates a flexible, easy-to-remove seal and is available in many colors and finishes. Choose from vibrant solid colors, sparkly metallics and shiny pearls. We can even create custom colors to match your brand. You can view color options and order those products directly through our website.
Remember that each pound of wax seals about 25-30 bottles when ordering your wax. Bigger projects will require more wax, and Blended Waxes offers custom colors for orders of 100 pounds or more, allowing you to match your brand design perfectly.
2. Get the Right Supplies
Make the dipping process easy with the correct supplies. You’ll need your bottled product, Blended Waxes Bottle Sealing Wax, one hot plate, two metal canisters (one for melted wax and one for water), room temperature water and a thermometer.
The size of your canisters will depend on how many bottles you plan to dip. If you’re only dipping five bottles, a canister the size of a soup can will do the job. If you’re closer to 50 bottles, choose a canister the size of a large coffee tin. Remember that whatever you use to hold your wax will be challenging to clean afterward. Use canisters you’ve dedicated for bottle dipping or a container you don’t mind losing.
3. Heat to the Right Temperature
Put the wax blocks in one of your metal canisters and heat it to 250-275℉ for best results. Check your thermometer frequently during the dipping process to ensure the wax remains at the proper temperature. Do not heat past 300℉.
Heating to the right temperature ensures you get a smooth and sleek finish on each of your bottles. All the wax blocks will melt evenly, giving your product a flawless finish. Wax that’s too hot can become thin, giving a see-through look when it dries on your bottle. Colder wax will be difficult to adhere to the bottle, and you may notice a skin or film on the finished product. Keeping a close eye on your thermometer will ensure you get the smooth look you’re aiming for.
When adding the wax blocks into your canister, take your time. Add them slowly and stir regularly so that the wax melts sooner than it would if you had put them all in at once. Slowly adding the wax will also create a smooth and even texture, which is ideal for bottling wax.
4. Dip the Bottle
Dry the bottle off before dipping to remove moisture for the best seal. Hold the bottle upside down and dip the neck into the wax. Once the bottle is coated, remove it from the wax and let the excess drip off. Then, dip the top of the wax-coated bottle in the canister of room temperature water to set the wax.
Depending on how far you dip the bottle into the wax, one pound of wax can be used for 25 to 30 bottles. You’ll also need more than just a single pound of wax to create a basin deep enough to dip your bottle as deep as you prefer. The specific amount of wax you need will also depend on the shape of your canister.
5. Store Your Final Product
The wax typically cools in about 30 minutes. Before packing the bottles away, make sure the wax is completely cooled. The wax seal will protect your product from leaking or spilling. It also keeps air and bacteria out of the bottle during storage.
