Michelle, after reading tons of info here on the forum, I took the plunge! I am now in the process of unmounting all my sets & so far have been happy with the results. This is how i am doing it (These are all techniques i found here on SCS)
Take a wooden mounted stamp and nuke it on high for 9 seconds.
Carefully (using a flat knife/mini spatuala) release the stamp & foam from the block.
Flip it over. Peel off the clear picture sticker on the block and stick onto the back of the stamp (it is all still sticky)
Trim the clear label.
Apply a thin coat of Aileens TIOAO (tack it over and over glue)
Let it dry about 30 mins. Press it once onto the back of your hand and now stick it into your storage container. You can apply it to an acrylic block to use. You don't need the EZ mount foam using this method.
The TIOAO lasts a long time and you can reapply when it starts to wear out.
I love the new SU storage cases and have created an insert file for my stamps that I have unmounted.
As I said in another thread, this unmounting is addictive. ;)
(Still undecided if I'm going to unmount my alphabets though)
Hope this helps!

Anyone have some ideas or experience with this? I saw someone posted today about a product called Tack n' Peel...
Ever use this stuff?
