Staz On and Acetate
 

you might have better luck with the inkjet ones... that is what i have always used. HTH !

stazon does have a distinct odor to it...no way around that ....

I think it smells like almond paste, and of course I was sniffing it like crazy until I was told to top doing that, as it's toxic !
I also love the smell of turpentine, Simple Green, etc...all the stuff that all "normal" people can't stand :twisted:

Thanks everyone!

Wait. Stazon is toxic to smell? I LOVE the smell of Stazon. It reminds me of cherries. Good to know I shouldn't be sniffing it!

Oh, and with any transparency, I find that I have to be very, very careful or the stazon smears. My hands aren't that steady yet.

I sometimes have trouble when 'lifting' the stamp off w/StazOn, so I started using my stamp-a-ma-jig EVERY time I stamp on acetate. That seems to help me, so you might give it a try.

Also, you should try the other side of your transparency - sometimes that makes a difference.

Good luck!

I don't think Staz On is toxic, although you probably shouldn't inhale it excessively. For stamping, I don't think you have to worry. To keep smearing to a minimum, try holding down the acetate while you lift up the stamp. Hold it as firmly as you can, and lift the stamp straight up. HTH, and happy stamping!

Also to reduce smearing, let the stamp dry for just a minute before putting it onto your paper, this helps it not be so slippery
