How to mount rubber stamps

Permanent MountingTools Sharp scissorsCraft knife- Supplies Unmounted rubber stampsCushionNote: You can get adhesive cushion for mounting stamps from many sources. I recommend the gray cushion available from Sunday International.You can also use inexpensive FunFoam available from craft stores (you will need to use rubber cement with FunFoam). BlocksUse only hardwood such as maple because pine warps. You can buy maple by the foot at most lumberyards.Rubber cementNote: Make sure you use REAL rubber cement, and work in a ventilated area. This will insure that your stamp does not fall off, if you use stamps a lot you may have had this happen when you purchase cheap mounted stamps.For the image on top of the wood use permanent or heat-set ink like black Fabrico or Crafter's Ink.* Our stamps are laser etched into the wood permanently.- Instructions Use sharp scissors to trim your rubber dies. Make sure not to undercut the design area of the die. Adhere the die to the cushion. If using non-adhesive cushion, spread a thin layer of rubber cement on both the die and the cushion and allow to dry (15–30 minutes), then stick together. Use a craft knife to trim the cushion from around the die. Again, do not undercut the die. Ink the cushioned die and carefully apply the stamp to the block, pressing down to make sure the stamp leaves a good impression. Heat set the ink. Adhere the cushioned die to the block, using rubber cement if necessary. * We recommend that if you are going to use the stamp a lot to get it mounted, it is cheaper and faster. We guarantee our stamps will not fall off for life. ( under natural circumstances of course. )
