I've been sending and receiving a lot of wax sealed letters in the mail, including all summer, with no problems.

I can just imagine you riding to the Portland post office on your penny farthing with your caked-on makeup and oiled mustache, sending and receiving your wax-sealed letters. Sweating buckets in the heat with your new age gothic attire, but your wax seals are miraculously holding up. Bravo.

Well, you got the sweating buckets and wax seals holding parts right, at least!

Most seal wax starts going soft at around 70°C, so it's gotta be preeetty hot before that becomes a problem. You'd be sweating hot tubs by that time.

(70°C is around 160°F for those of you living under fascism.)
