Heartbox sealing guide

With your own hands.
A place for treasured memories.

From opening the underside lid to completing the seal, follow the illustrated steps in your own time.

Before you begin, take a moment.

Choose a quiet, well-lit place and clear the tabletop.
Have a small sealed bag of ashes, or the keepsakes you wish to save, ready before you begin.
Take out Heartbox and the sealing tools. Lay a soft cloth on the table.

Put on the gloves. Gently turn Heartbox over and rest it securely on the soft cloth, with the heart-shaped opening on its underside facing up.

Steady the vessel with one hand. With the other, hold the bow on the lid, lift it gently and set it beside the vessel.

Check your sealing toolkit

Steady the vessel and gently place the sealed ashes bag or other keepsakes inside.

Check that everything is in place before replacing the lid.

Align the heart-shaped lid with the underside opening and gently lower it into place.

Make sure the lid sits evenly and the seam is aligned. Keep the underside facing up, ready to apply the resin.

Keep the lid facing up. Apply 3–4 drops of UV resin along the seam between the lid and the vessel, allowing it to flow evenly along the groove.

Choose one curing method below. Keep the piece steady and expose every part of the seam to the light.

Choose the method that suits your setting.

About 5–10 minutes

Move the small UV lamp slowly along the seam, exposing every part until the resin has fully cured.

About 30 minutes

Place the seam in direct sunlight. Gently turn the piece as needed so every part of the seam receives light.

Times are approximate. Make sure the resin has fully cured before turning Heartbox upright.

Once the seal has fully cured, gently turn Heartbox upright and place it in its matching K9 crystal cradle.

On a bedside table, a bookshelf or in a familiar corner, make a quiet place for treasured memories.
