FAQs

What size is the 'Crazy Dogs' stamp design?

The 'Crazy Dogs' design measures approximately 1 7/8 inches by 2 7/8 inches.

Do I need to buy acrylic blocks separately?

Yes, clear acrylic blocks are required to use these cling mount stamps and are sold separately.

Can I use these stamps with any ink?

Yes, these stamps are compatible with most standard ink types, including dye, pigment, and chalk inks.

How do I store these stamps?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet for easy storage in a binder, or they can be stored on their original backing or a clean acrylic block in a cool, dry place.

What is the benefit of using deeply etched red rubber?

Deeply etched red rubber ensures a crisp, clear, and detailed impression every time you stamp, resulting in a high-quality finish for your projects.

Are these stamps suitable for beginners?

Yes, the cling mount system is user-friendly for beginners, as it allows for easy positioning and repositioning on acrylic blocks.

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 cling has reduced, try rinsing the stamp with water and allowing it to air dry completely.

Faint or incomplete stamp impression

Check that the stamp is properly inked with even coverage. Ensure firm, even pressure is applied when stamping onto the surface. Consider using a stamping platform or mat for a more consistent press.

Ink bleeding or smudging

This can be due to using the wrong type of ink for your surface or over-inking. Ensure ink pads are not oversaturated. Allow ink to dry thoroughly on porous surfaces before touching.
