More information about Acrylic Mounts

We carry several acrylic rubber stamp mounts. Generally most stampers have one good set with mounts ranging from 1 or 2" square all the way up to the largest stamps in their collection. It is often good to have 2-3 mounts that fit sizes of rubber stamps you use the most so you don't have to clean and remove one stamp from the acrylic mount, before you're done using it, just so you can mount another stamp.

You can use acrylic mounts with rubber stamps that are mounted on cling cushion by peeling the stamp from wherever you store the stamp and pressing to your acrylic mount. When finished, clean your stamp while still on the mount, remove it and replace it to your stamp storage area. If you are cleaning the stamp with a solvent based cleaner like StazOn, remove the stamp from the acrylic mount before cleaning it. Solvents cause crazing of acrylic which shows up as small cracks in the surface which can worsen over time.

You can also permanently apply Tack n' Peel from Tsukineko to your acrylic mounts for use with unmounted rubber stamps that have no cushion or backing on them. This method works especially well for small stamps like alphabets. Small stamps adhere much more strongly to the Tack n' Peel than when using them in conjunction with cling cushion.
