-
Store your stamps in a cool, dry
place.
-
Avoid prolonged direct exposure
to sunlight and heat...UV rays and heat break down and dry out the
rubber causing your stamp to warp and crack.
-
Also, avoid exposing your stamps
to excessive humidity. Humid places are bad for the wood of
your mounted stamps.
-
Equally, cold conditions will
cause your rubber to harden. Freezing may break down the seal
between the rubber cushion and the wood mount.
-
Clean stamps after each use
before storage. for routine cleaning, keep a damp sponge or
alcohol-free baby wipes handy when stamping. Simple clean ups
will be a breeze!
-
Stamp off any excess ink onto a
piece of scrap paper before cleaning.
-
If your stamp images aren't
positioned properly on your wood mount simply put your stamp in your
microwave oven for five second intervals until the rubber pulls
easily from your wood mount. You should then be able to peel
off the rubber and foam and replace it in the proper position.
-
Stains on wood can be removed by
sanding.
