Blue sponge is wet. I use a clear ink stamp pad, either works. Keeps the wax from adhering to the metal die. Seals aren't expensive - shops usually sell sticks of wax (buy the kind with a wick unless you intend to buy a melting ladle as well) for around $3, and a brass die/stamp for maybe $8-10.
nice idea, I've always done things kinda cheap seeing as i don't want to spend lots of money or. i don't have something at the time so I've always used candle wax for a seal -but i've never used a seal/stamp thing B4- and i make parchment and use it just like messengers and stuff did in the 20th (or whatever) century ... pretty cool! i give you 5 stars

Awesome stuff. I want to purchase a seal and some sealing wax but don't want to pay much for it...

It's not that expensive to get the wax. You can use something else to try it, than a professional seal.
