Clear or not to Clear??? Help

[KoffeeKat]

I have mostly acrylic stamps and when I've finished with a stamp, I throw it into a bowl of slightly soapy water. If I'm using Stazon, I clean with Stazon cleaner first, then into the water. Keeps my little images in one place and everything clean.

I have a couple of large blocks and one each of a few smaller sizes, so I don't need to remount all the time when I'm using more than one image.

As for clear blocks though, SU's are my favorite. I've tried many, many brands and theirs are the best, especially if you stamp a lot or do bulk. The comfort grip on all sides makes a big difference when you're making 50+ cards a day!

Yeah, I get ya! I thought I would really miss using the stickers and was totally shocked to find that I didn't mind at all...but then again, I didn't think I'd like the clear mount at all when they came out with it...or I didn't NEED a big shot...LOL! You're right about the blocks! They are great!

Sooo much good info! I've been out of the game for so long its like I'm starting all over! So if you go to the clear, do you have trouble switching back and forth between those and the old wood mounted ones?

I have both. Makes no difference to me.

I use both and love both. I love the feel of wood mount in my hand but I love the cost and space savings of cling foam mount equally.
