Troubleshooting
Stamps do not fit securely in acetate strips
Ensure you are using the album for standard-sized stamps. For smaller stamps, consider adding a small piece of archival-safe backing paper behind them within the strip for a snugger fit. Avoid forcing oversized stamps.
Acetate strips appear cloudy or discolored
This may indicate exposure to humidity or contaminants. Ensure the album is stored in a dry environment. If the issue is widespread, consider replacing affected pages if possible or using archival sleeves for additional protection.
Album cover feels stiff or brittle
This can happen if the album has been stored in excessively dry conditions. Gently wipe the cover with a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry one. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Pages are difficult to turn
Ensure the album is not overstuffed. If the pages are sticking, check for any foreign debris or adhesive residue between pages. Gently separate pages if needed.
