Having been converted to this lovely product I have just cut up my first plates of rubber without putting Easimount on them, to use with my Tack'n'peel BUT can someone please tell me how I now store the unmounted "naked" rubber stamps??? I have laminated sheets in a ring binder, but need something on the rubber to make it cling and I dont fancy using Pritt stick!!! What do you use?
Grant me patience Lord - please hurry!!

Maybe with the plain rubber, Hilda, you could keep them in pocket pages...?

I started off by keeping my rubber without EZ Mount in an A4 Lever arch file in which I put some bits of cardboard as pages. To this I attached with sellotape a little plastic bag with an open top for each stamp. I have managed to fit three cardboard pages in one file like this and. of course, use both sides.
But now I've run out of space doing that, I use one of the drawers of my big plastic units from Staples enitrely for storing my unmounted rubber flat. I keep them in their original packages but often laminate the printed copy of the contents to make the package more sturdy.
It does get a bit untidy in that drawer as I grab stamps out of the packages but is easy to take right out and tidy up.
That's for UM sets but, if I buy a new single UM stamp, it would still go in my file in a plakky bag and I would just have to make room for it.

So many people swear by this Tack n Peel - I feel I ought to try it but am actually quite happy using Pritt Stick and running it all under the tap when I've done.
I may yet be converted though...........

I am a complete philistine. The rubber backed ones I literally throw into the stamp drawer, and the clear ones I throw into a clear box.
Take care
Jackie

It's good to be amongst friends. Thank you, all.

I use DS removable tape. Works, more or less. :roll: Sometimes I have to switch out the tape, and it works well for me. I just stamp the image on the page, then DS tape it the rubber beside that image, then put in page protectors and store it in 3ring binders.

As another idea, Hilda - I got a bottle of a new type of glue at the last craft show I attended. By Aleene, and it's called Tack It Over and Over (brilliant name. Not. ). Anyway, it's liquid, and you spread it over the back of your rubber and let it dry, and what you have is a reusable tacky surface, like on the back of clear stamps. You might try finding that....
