Troubleshooting
Stamp not sticking to acrylic block
Ensure the stamp surface and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Reapply the protective backing when not in use to maintain tackiness.
Uneven or faint ink impression
Ensure the stamp is evenly inked by gently dabbing, not pressing hard, into the ink pad. Check that the stamp is firmly adhered to the acrylic block and apply even pressure when stamping.
Ink residue on stamp after cleaning
Use a dedicated stamp cleaner or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Ensure the stamp is completely dry before reapplying the protective backing.
Stamp losing its cling over time
Clean the stamp gently with a damp cloth or baby wipe. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching the protective backing. Avoid touching the cling surface with fingers.
