Troubleshooting
Stamp not adhering to acrylic block
Ensure the stamp's sticky surface is clean and free from dust or debris. If adhesion is weak, gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before re-applying.
Uneven ink coverage or smudging
Ensure the stamp is clean and free from old ink residue. Check that the stamp is pressed evenly onto the acrylic block and that you are using an appropriate amount of ink. Apply even pressure when stamping.
Stamp losing stickiness over time
Clean the sticky surface gently with a slightly damp cloth or stamp cleaner and allow it to air dry completely. This often restores its adhesive quality. Store properly on its backing sheet when not in use.
