Default Did I buy the wrong thing?

I was wanting something safe to store my cling stamps and clear stamps. I read on SCS that Duralar was a good product to use. I googled it and bought it in a roll. I did not realize until later that there are 2 types of Duralar: clear and translucent. I purchased the translucent. It looks much like a heavy vellum with kind of a plastickey (real word, right?) feel.

Some of my clear stamps are photopolymer � the rest, who knows? Some of my cling mount stamps, from various companies, were bought with the cling already on them. The rest I put a thin mount, purchased from Viva Las Vegas, on them.

Some of the pre-mounted cling stamps/ clear stamps stick to the Duralar just fine, some barely, and some not at all. The stamps with the VLV cling on them don�t stick at all. But then they don�t stick to the acrylic block either, so I�ve been removing the mount and using my Tack N Peel. So should I buy the clear Duralar for stamp storage? Will that work better? TIA

I made the same mistake - the clear is what you need. The good news is the translucent is beautiful for crafting
