Troubleshooting
Stamp not sticking to acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Reapply the protective backing if it has become dirty or lost its stickiness.
Uneven or faint impressions
Check that the stamp is evenly inked. Ensure you are applying even pressure when stamping. Clean the stamp if residue is affecting the ink transfer.
Ink smudging after stamping
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or further embellishing the project. Some inks require longer drying times than others. Consider using a faster-drying ink or an embossing powder.
Stamp losing its cling over time
Clean the stamp with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any ink residue or dirt. Allow it to air dry completely. This often restores its clinging ability.

- Mounting: Peel the protective backing from the stamp. Press the rubber side firmly onto your chosen clear acrylic block. Ensure it is centered for ease of use.
