1. peel the release paper off the back of stamp
2. peel the clear index sticker off the label
3. apply clear index sticker onto of sticky foam
4. apply thin coat of aileens tack it over
5. store on storage boards.

This way you have the cushion AND an index through the clear block to see your stamp.

LMK if you have any other questions!

It is a lot thinner than EZMount, and I have mounted lots of stamps with it and have had no problems. I'll definitely be going back for more when I need it.

Jen,

I can't quite see what you've described here. Could you help me out with some more info on each line? I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Amy

1. peel the release paper off the back of stamp ? Is the stamp stuck to something?
2. peel the clear index sticker off the label
3. apply clear index sticker onto of sticky foam ??? onto what?
4. apply thin coat of aileens tack it over ?? on what side of what?
5. store on storage boards.

I've had poor luck w/Aleen's Tack It Over And Over - It stuck to my stamp board permanently, and peeled of much of the red rubber. What a mess to try and salvage. Sounds like I should of pressed the sticky surface w/some fabric to lessen it's tack before putting the stamps on my board.

I REALLY like the Thin Cling-Foam I got from Blockhead Stamps b/c the Thin-Foam is light gray, and I can have the stamp image on the cling side of the foam for indexing/visual reference. EZ-Mount's Thin is Black.

This "other " brand, according to their rep. Stacey, was the initial EZ-Mount, before the company/product was divided between the two developers. See attached quote.
Best of all - it was $1.00 cheaper per sheet. Not sure if that's enough less for you guys, but it was GREAT compared to the headaches I had with TIOAO.

The less expensive one comes from rubberstampingdepot.com. He was
actually on the Sunday International team that came up with the product
but then he split off after some management disagreement so his is the
original cling cushion before Sunday Int started mucking with the
formula and messing it up.
