Torn Acrylic Stamp

[scrapiegirl75]

Can a tear in an acrylic stamp be fixed???? I have one stamp that has a tear and one that has tore. Anyone no of a way to fix it???

I usually can position them on the block and make it work. I don't think they can be glued back together or anything.

If its a stamp that is inexpensive and easily replaced, you could try positioning them back together with tack & peel. Luckily, I've never had this problem, but I always thought that's what I would try first if I had to.

cat_woman,

I have never use tack and peel from what I understand you stick it on a block and then your stamps cling to it. Are you saying to try it the other way and put the adhesive side to the stamp and trim around it? Thanks!

I've used Liquid Glass to repair a couple of my torn clear stamps. I think SU makes the equivalent Crystal Effects, then there's Diamond Glaze.... Works pretty well, you have to be more careful pulling it off the plastic, though, but it stamps perfectly.

Sorry, I didn't respond, but yes, that's what I was suggesting.

I tore a stampendous stamp once and the CS gal recommended to try zip dry to glue it together...then the idea FINALLY dawned on her to replace my stamp for me. ;) But thats the product she said to try. HTH
