Some say that miracles are priceless.....I beg to differ. Because the miracle I bought at Michael's cost me $4. But it just might be the best $4 I've ever spent. A lot of my friends are skeptics when it comes to the new clear mount stamps from Stampin' Up. They say that they have a hard time with the stamps "clinging" to the blocks. I only have this problem on occasion, but my friends often use my stamps too. I'm a bit of a people pleaser, so after doing a little research, I bought this bottle of "Aleene's Tack It Over & Over" at Michael's. Using a foam brush, you just apply a thin layer of the re-positional glue on the part of the stamp that "clings" to the clear acrylic block. Then let it dry overnight. And like magic, instant cling-age (it's a word in the JRob dictionary if you mush know!) to your clear block. Just please blot the stamp onto you pants or shirt a few times before you cling it to your block for the first time. It's a little to cling-ish if you don't!
Sidenote-I'm also using this miracle in a bottle to de-mount all my wood block stamps and converting them to the cling style so I can use them on clear blocks. I just microwave the stamp for 10 seconds to losen the adhesive on the foam. Then I remove the stamp and foam from the block, the apply the glue to the foam as above. Loving the results!
Totally, completely agree!!! Why I didn't find this earlier amazes me. :) Following from SC #334. http://lovemecard.blogspot.com
