The wax is warmed to about body temperature, then kneaded into a flat disk a little bigger in diameter than the glasses opening. Then the glas vessel is put onto that wax lid upside down, the wax is kneaded around the rim to seal the glass and then it's left to cool. This way the wax lid does not sink in in the middle while it is still warm :-)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530949438840707928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784414336675409055.post-87066689218375556372011-09-24T22:50:24.809+02:002011-09-24T22:50:24.809+02:00I really like the glass vessel relics and was wond...I really like the glass vessel relics and was wondering how you went about sealing them with wax...I mean, is it JUST wax covering the top? Or is there something under the wax, but covering the lid?

I love the entry on your reenactment weekend. It looks like a lot of fun, and you must be very skilled to make those beautiful books. :)Ceciliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127138490497478364noreply@blogger.com
