Problem with clear stamps

vellumx · Problem with clear stamps

I'm having a problem with some of my stamps sticking to the acrylic block. I even bought new blocks thinking the ones I had were getting ruined. It's not the blocks.

Some of my stamps stick really well, but it seems the ones I recently bought in a pack (forget whose, but from a company you wouldn't expect problems from) keep falling off. I've been using doublesided tape, but not happy having to do that.

When I clean them, I do not use soap and I do not dry them. I let them air dry on my bathroom counter.

Help!!!!..any suggestions???

I popped back in here thinking you had the answer...

I only use my stampin up cleaner on them...

if they aren't sticking try using an easy tack.... there are tons of brands out there...

vellumx

easty tack?...like a spray?

Nee

krylon makes a spray one...there are others those that are liquid...I just can't remember the names right now...

vellumx

Thanks, Nee...does it last a while or do you need to spray everytime you need your stamp to stick. I always put my stamps back on the plastic sheet it came with, but I've actually lost stamps because they didn't hold and I didn't know it!

Nee

I always reapply it, but I wash it off everytime...I suppose if you left it on, it would stay tacky...

Maybe there's too much baby powder on the bathroom counter...

funny...I actually use the guest bathroom because that is right outside my scraproom...Great for washing up stuff too..

I use baby powder every day!! I stand on my shower towel so I don't make to much of a mess..

..Trust me, if I don't clean up, Joe does...(lucky me!!)

baby wipes work for me

Wendi, I use baby wipes too, but I still lost the stickyness (or is it stickiness?)....

Some clear stamps just do that...loose their stickyness...I just use a bit of my adhesive runner and wash off everytime. That lady who owned a stamp site that was here for a while said you shouldn't leave them mounted on the stuff they come on either...just an idea.

Lisa, I always put them back on the sheet they came with!!..What did she suggest you put them on?

that's interesting about leaving them on the sheets they come on
i do that..is there a reason why?

lisa9er

the sheets they come on supposedly are treated with something for 'shelf life' I think is what she said. She recommeded cd cases and some other things. I still keep some of mine that way, just because I haven't switched. But I really like the inserts for 3 ring binders I bought at www.mandarinpixie.com they're on sale there now I believe with the store closing...

I do remember vicki saying that now (she was from queenstamps)
I have a ton of cd cases :thumbup:

Like Lisa said a couple posts up - the sheets they sell at MP have worked great for me. good luck!
