what's the secret to mounting your own stamps WRT what adhesive to use?
Most sellers of blocks for mounting also sell a foam cushion that has adhesive on both sides. One side adheres to the mount, and the other side adheres to the stamp. You want a pad because without it you won't get a nice image. You want to stick the stamp to the pad, trim aound them both, then stick the pad to your mount.

If the foam is allready mounted to the stamp and you want a permanent mount you can use a thin layer of rubber cement. If you want to use the stamp like an unmounted stamp then you can use Aleene's tack it over and over - read the directions on the bottle. This makes it so that you can use the acrylic mounts and store your unmounted stamps in a 3 ring folder on a plastic page cover.

Thanks Gina.
I specifically did not get double-sided cushion. I'm really counting pennies right now (or quarters based on the US economy) and it saved me $4 to buy cushion sans adhesive.
so... just trying to figure out what adhesive would work best at this point
thanks, kcat
where do i find "Aleene's" tack? Michael's I hope.
