Tips and How To's

How to mount rubber stamps using cling sheets
- Cut the cling sheet to size needed for current project
- Peel back adhesive covering and place stamp onto adhesive side of cling sheet – be careful not to pull the cling sheet taut or it may shrink back to size and not fully cover stamp
- Trim stamp/cling sheet around stamp image, angling scissors away from image to ensure full coverage
- Remove protective backing from cling and store on insert

What if cling-mounted stamps are not clinging to the insert or acrylic block?
The system uses static cling and not adhesive, so rest assured it is not gone for good. The static simply needs to be recharged. The best method we’ve found to recharge the static cling is to rub the cling side of the stamp on an article of clothing, like your jeans. Leave the cling exposed to the air for a bit and the static will be recharged and ready to stamp and store once again. Humidity and heavy usage can cause the static to lose its charge, so it helps to know about this possibility and how to combat it!

Why not use both sides of the inserts?
In order to maximize space, one insert should face forward and another would face backward. The natural next question is, why not coat both sides of the inserts? Knowing the answer to this is a result of our testing! This idea is the first to come to mind when designing the system. So, we went with it. Unfortunately, the end result was NOT user-friendly. The insert became unwieldy and the ease of use was drastically reduced to the point of being a hindrance. One of the benefits of the system is that you can access what you want when you want it. Using both sides of the insert forces you to be much more mindful of the set stored on the opposite side and affects how freely you handle the insert when removing and replacing stamps for storage, both to the sheet and into the sleeve.

How can I identify my stamps once they are on the inserts?
Easily slip the sheets provided by the manufacturer into the sleeve to store with your stamps – after all, many of them include great samples or ideas that you want to have when stamping. For plastic sheets, you can line up the stamps in the same order and the cover sheet will cling slightly to the stamping surface. You also can stamp images directly onto the insert with permanent ink. Use permanent marker to identify sets by name and manufacturer on the inserts. These are just ideas to get you started. We’d like to hear from you how you’re able to personalize you storage system in this area!
