FAQs
Can I use these blocks with wood-mounted stamps?
No, these blocks are specifically designed for clear or cling-mounted stamps. Wood-mounted stamps have their own integrated base.
How do I remove ink from the acrylic blocks?
A standard stamp cleaner or warm water with a drop of mild dish soap works best. Wipe dry with a lint-free cloth.
Do I need a stamping platform to use these?
No, these are handheld blocks. They are designed for manual stamping and do not require a separate platform.
Will the alignment guides fade over time?
The guides are built into the blocks and are highly durable, provided you do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on them.
Can these blocks be used for heat embossing?
Yes, they are suitable for holding stamps used with embossing ink, provided you clean them thoroughly immediately after use to prevent ink buildup.
Troubleshooting
Stamp will not stick to the block
Clean both the back of the stamp and the acrylic block with a stamp cleaner to remove skin oils or dust that interfere with adhesion.
Smudging during stamping
Ensure you are using even, light pressure and avoid rocking the block. Check that the stamp is properly secured to the center of the block.
Acrylic block looks cloudy
Gently clean with a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners which can cause small cracks in the acrylic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your blocks, ensure your surface is clean and free of dust. Simply place your photopolymer or rubber cling stamp onto the smooth side of the block, press down lightly to secure, and apply your ink.
Compatibility: These blocks are compatible with all standard clear photopolymer and cling-mounted rubber stamps. They are not intended for use with wood-mounted rubber stamps.
Care Instructions: After use, clean the blocks with a stamp cleaner or mild soap and water using a soft cloth or microfiber towel. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can cloud the acrylic. Store the blocks in a dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or yellowing over time.
