    • Open the hard plastic containers youll find a ball of wax in each. If you have multiple prints, label each jar with a permanent marker.
  3. Warm the Wax:

    • You can use a hairdryer to gently warm the wax ball until it becomes soft and pliable. You can work it between your fingers and it should soften also, depending on the weather where you are. This makes it easier to create clear impressions.

    • For Fingerprints: Gently press your clean, dry finger into the softened wax. Ensure the wax captures the full detail of your fingerprint, use the paper in the containers if you want a one (1) sided print.
    • For Pets: For nose impressions, ensure your pet’s nose is dry and press it gently into the wax. For paw prints, lightly press the paw into the wax, ensuring a clear imprint.
    • For Infants: Gently press your baby’s knuckles, toe creases or finger creases to get the best impressions for our lilttle loved ones. Be sure to do this quickly to avoid any discomfort.
