FAQs

What is a cling stamp?

A cling stamp is a rubber stamp with a special foam backing that allows it to adhere to a clear acrylic block without the need for adhesives. It's repositionable and easy to use.

Are acrylic blocks included with the stamps?

No, acrylic blocks are sold separately. You will need to have your own clear acrylic blocks to use these stamps.

How many stamps are in this set?

This set includes nineteen deeply etched red rubber cling mount stamps.

What are the approximate dimensions of the stamps?

The seated cat stamp measures approximately 1 3/8" x 2", and the hat and shoulders stamp measures approximately 1 7/16" x 1 9/16". Other stamps will vary in size.

Can I use these stamps with a stamping machine?

Yes, if the stamping machine uses a flat surface to hold stamps and allows for the use of acrylic blocks, these stamps can be compatible.

How should I store the stamps?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet for easy storage in a binder or carousel system. Storing them clean and away from dust will help maintain their cling.

What kind of ink works best?

These stamps work well with most types of ink pads, including dye inks, pigment inks, and hybrid inks. Choose an ink that suits your project and desired permanence.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not adhering to acrylic block

Ensure both the stamp's cling foam and the acrylic block surface are clean and free of dust or oils. The cling foam may lose some stickiness over time; gently wash with water and allow to air dry completely to restore tackiness.

Uneven or faint stamped image

Check that the stamp is evenly inked. Apply firm and consistent pressure when stamping. Ensure no debris is on the stamp surface. Clean the stamp thoroughly if ink residue is present.

Difficulty removing stamp from acrylic block

Gently peel the stamp from the block at an angle. If it seems too sticky, ensure you are not pressing down excessively during application. Clean both surfaces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a clear acrylic block that is appropriately sized for the stamp you wish to use.
  2. Peel the protective backing off the cling foam of the desired stamp.
  3. Firmly press the stamp's cling foam onto the surface of the acrylic block.
  4. Apply ink to the stamp surface using your preferred ink pad.
  5. Position and press the inked stamp onto your project surface.

Compatibility:

These stamps are compatible with any standard clear acrylic block. They are highly recommended for use with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks for optimal alignment.

Care:

After each use, clean the stamp surface immediately with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Avoid using harsh solvents, which can damage the red rubber. Store the stamps on the provided 3-hole punched sheet or a dedicated stamp storage panel to maintain their cling ability and protect them from dust and debris.
