Can I use a clear stamp (Kelly Purkey is the brand I want to try) with sealing wax or will it melt?
Figured someone here has tried it.

I would think it would at least warp the stamp if not melt it. The was gets really hot - hot enough to burn your skin. All of my stamps for wax are metal.

Wow! Very cool. I never would have tried that. Another thing you could try to make your stamp turn out better is to put your stamp in the fridge or freezer for a while before you use it. It will help it to set better. |

I saw another where she put down hot glue and then used a wax sealer stamp to make an impression and then colored the dried glue. I thought was was cool!

Rubber has a pretty high heat tolerance. I'm unsure about photo-polymer or acrylic stamps. Plastics and heat are usually a no-go.

When I clicked on that video to watch it, another link came up on the right where a person used a clear stamp with the wax and it was fine.
Might try it with a stamp I don't like first just to make sure...
