FAQs

What size acrylic block should I use?

An A7 sized acrylic block is ideal for the Chimney House A7 stamp to ensure full coverage and easy handling, but slightly larger or smaller blocks can also work depending on your desired effect.

Do I need special ink for this stamp?

No, special ink is not required. However, dye-based or pigment-based inks typically provide the best results with clear polymer stamps. Avoid oil-based inks unless specifically formulated for polymer.

How many times can I reuse this stamp?

The stamp is designed for repeated use. With proper care and cleaning, it can be used hundreds or even thousands of times.

Can I use this stamp with markers?

While primarily designed for ink pads, you can carefully color directly onto the stamp with markers before applying it to your project, though this may require more thorough cleaning afterward.

Where is this stamp made?

This stamp is designed and produced in the UK.

What is the MPN for this stamp?

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this stamp is S12A700030.

How should I store the stamp when not in use?

Store the stamp on its original backing sheet or a similar non-stick surface in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This prevents it from drying out or losing its stickiness.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not sticking to acrylic block

Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free of dust or oil. The polymer should naturally adhere; if not, try wiping the block with a slightly damp cloth and letting it air dry.

Fuzzy or incomplete stamped image

This can be due to the ink pad being dry, or insufficient ink on the stamp. Re-ink the pad or use a different ink source. Ensure you are pressing the stamp evenly onto the paper.

Ink smudging after stamping

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. Some inks may require heat setting or specific drying times. Ensure you are using an ink suitable for polymer stamps.

Stamp becoming sticky or gummy

This can happen over time with certain inks or if not cleaned properly. Clean the stamp thoroughly with a dedicated stamp cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
