Help! Clear stamps deteriating!!

[scrapling]

I noticed that my house mouse clears from HL are deteriating around the edges, anyone else have that happen?
It is the edges, like the thin ears and tails...

I haven't used bleach or abrasive cleaners just the mist....and the most agressive ink has been stazon.

Now I am paranoid, and am going to have to go through all my 1000's;) of stamps....hopefully it is just a fluke.

Thanks for the help...

Not all clear stamps are created equal, sadly. What you want are the photopolymer stamps, so if you have any from PTI, MFT, TCP, or any company like that, you're good. I'm not sure about the HM. HTH!

I would try contacting the manufacturer. I have mostly clear stamps but mine are just fine. I would email them- maybe the stamp is defective and they can replace it.

How are you storing them? I've heard that it's a bad idea to store them in tins, and that if you use a CD jewel case, you'll need to put a layer between the lid and the stamps.
