PAXCOO 624Pcs Sealing Wax Beads, Sealing Wax for Wax Seal Stamp, Hexagon Wax Seal Beads with A Wax Spoon and 4Pcs Tea Candles (24 Colors)

I’m very happy with what I got for the price. Yes, these beads are more plastic than real wax. With this many beads for less than $20 I’d be very surprised if it was actual wax. So if you know that before you buy, it isn’t a disappointment. In fact, for my purposes, the plasticky beads are more efficient anyway. I apply seals to props and handouts used in my D&D games, and the cheap stuff works perfectly and no one receiving my seals would ever know the difference. If you want that authentic real wax seal, though, you won’t like these beads.For their purpose, they melt well, harden quickly, and have lovely color. My only complaint with the plastic-type beads is that they don’t break easily. So when a seal is opened, it is more likely to stay whole and just tear the paper up more than I imagine real wax would.The packaging is fine. The plastic divider box for the beads is very convenient. My set didnt come vacuum sealed like others, but that’s not an issue for me. Like others, though, the candles were a bit squished. Again, not an issue. I didn’t buy this for the candles, and you can get a large pack of good tealights for super cheap anywhere.All in all, I think this is a good set for casual hobby sealing, or getting started. It is a good way to get a bunch of colors to start with, for not a lot of money.
