Troubleshooting
Stamp not adhering to acrylic block.
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free from dust or residue. If the stamp's cling is weak, try cleaning it with a baby wipe and letting it air dry.
Blurred or incomplete stamp impression.
Check that the stamp is being inked evenly. Use a brayer or dab the ink pad lightly over the stamp surface. Ensure you are pressing down firmly and evenly on the acrylic block when stamping.
Ink smudging after stamping.
Allow the ink to dry completely before handling the stamped image. Some inks may require longer drying times depending on the paper surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the THMB013 stamps, peel the red rubber stamp from its backing sheet and adhere it to a clean clear acrylic block. Ensure the block is large enough to accommodate the stamp for comfortable handling.
Compatibility: These stamps are designed to cling to any standard clear acrylic stamping block. They are highly recommended for use with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks for precise alignment, but will also work with other brands of acrylic blocks.
Care: After each use, clean the stamps by gently rubbing them with a damp cloth or a stamp cleaner. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber. Store the stamps on the provided plastic backing sheet or a dedicated cling-mount storage surface to maintain their adhesive quality. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
