Troubleshooting
Stamp not sticking to the acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free of dust or oil. Gently wipe both surfaces if necessary.
Uneven or faint ink impressions
Ensure the stamp is evenly inked by dabbing it onto the ink pad. Check that the stamp is pressed firmly and evenly onto the project surface. Re-ink the stamp if necessary.
Ink smudging after stamping
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. Some inks may require a longer drying time or a heat tool to set.
Stamp losing its cling over time
Clean the stamp gently with water or a mild soap solution, rinse, and allow to air dry completely. This often revives the cling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
- After each use, clean the stamp immediately with a damp cloth or a stamp cleaner.

- Return the stamp to its original backing sheet or a clean, dry surface to store. This prevents dust accumulation and maintains its cling.
