Did you know you can open most envelopes by exposing it to steam (e.g. from your kettle) ?! Well first of all - it might be easier to open the letter by simply freezing it in your freezer for 30 min. (may take an hour and more, varies from freezer to freezer) and then using a knife to easily open the letter! Resealing is easy, once it heats back up just moisten the glue strip and reseal. So - what's with the nail polish you ask ?! Nail polish has many uses - one of my favorites is using clear or colored nail polish to seal an envelope. This also prevents the letter from being opened (in both methods described) without leaving evidence it was forced open and provides a stronger seal than the (usually) low grade glue provided in the envelopes and doesn't require glue moistening (if the envelope has a glue removal strip then remove it and place nail polish on exposed glue). |
