I know we have discussed this problem lots of times. Many company's stamps are prone to ink beading. I've seen where people use an eraser before stamping, using a sanding block, and probably many solutions I can't remember, but I don't remember anyone trying this one:
Use your adhesive pick up square to rub over the stamp!
I was stamping with some new stamps from inkadinkadoo the other day and they are notorious for having the ink bead up. I was looking around my desk for an eraser and didn't see one. So instead of getting up to go get one, I saw my adhesive pick up square sitting in the basket right there and thought I would try it.
WOW! I have never had any solution work as well! I rubbed in all 4 directions so that I was sure that I got the whole image and it didn't take much rubbing.
Thanks for the great tip! I have a Xyron pickup square to use. I also started using Versafine ink to stamp my images(i mostly stamp in black and color my images) and it doesn't bead nearly as much.
Thank you so very very much! I have had problems with my acrylic stamps, and I think this could be such an easy solution! I ordered this from the company you suggested on 11/16 and received my product today! Wow...great service here.

Since I have stamped for 10 years without one of these, when do you use an adhesive picker upper, besides to get an acrylic stamp to not bead up?

If you have a bit of adhesive around the edge of a piece you've adhered, you can rub the eraser on it to remove it (dry adhesives you can do it right away; liquid adhesives wait until they're dry)
It's been a life saver for me...I often use liquid adhesive and sometimes I'm a bit too generous and it squeezes out the edge a little.
I love my clear stamps, and this beats the eraser idea. Love the use for the adhesives as well.....great idea sharing, ladies, thank you all so much!!!!
Help for clear stamps that bead up the ink...
