Removing Acrylic Blocks from Provo Craft Clear Stamps

[rholzman]

Has anyone been sucessful in removing the acrylic blocks from Provo Craft Clear Stamps? I have tried to heat them in the micorwave with no luck. They don't work in a stamping platform as they are and I have a lot of them

I don't have mine anymore but I would try a solvent like Undu or Duck Adhesive Remover. Try to pry up a corner with a knife and drip some solvent underneath the stamp. Good luck!

I don't have mine any more either but I sort of remember the stamp being part of the block...?

This tutorial might help for using them in your platform as is:

I know you can remove red rubber from wooden blocks by placing them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Dini thank you for sharing that. I would never of thought of it

i tried the provo craft stamps in the microwave, but it didn't work. Thanks though

also, give the freezer a try. I've done that with some wood mounted sets and it made the adhesive just brittle enough that it released.

I never heard of that, but will give it a try. I still have some wooden ones I can’t get off. Will try it on them too!

I had some smaller ones, I was able to pry up a corner and then pull the stamp off the block. We filed/sanded off the acrylic lip that was around the stamp and voila, an extra acrylic block!
