Tips on getting unmounted SU stamps to stick to clear block?

[carolynn_sander]

Does anyone have tips on how to get the Stamp'n Up unmounted/clear block stamps to stick to the clear block better? I have issues with the letters in my alphabet stamp set sticking to the block when I go to stamp.
Thanks so much in advance!

1. Put a tiny bit of Tombow (green/white bottle) on the cling vinyl. When dry, remove extra stickiness by sticking it to your jeans/pants, or back of your hand a few times.
2. Put a strip of removable adhesive on the block for the stamp to adhere to. You can then rub off the adhesive when you're done, or clean with soap/water.

Don't use the index stickers.

I find that I only have trouble when it's cold. I breathe on the block to add a little moisture. Pressing on the stamp for a couple of seconds helps it stick better too.

3. Rub vinyl on pants before sticking to block.
4. Huff on stamp or block, press from center out.
5. Be sure to press from center, and press well for a few seconds.

Does anyone know if Stampin' Up is looking into this problem? The customers should not br having so much trouble. I know not everyone is having trouble but there have been several threads just here asking basically the same thing. The SU demos must be getting complaints from their customers also.

I asked this question before also and other here were very forthcoming with suggestions. I tried some of them. Some worked for awhile but then the stamps started falling off the blocks again. I like that the stamping surface is red rubber so the stamped image (when I can keep it from falling off my block) is nice and clear.

I like having the label attached the stamp so I can tell which stamp I have and also the top of the image. Also, when I am stamping a saying/sentiment, I know what wording I am stamping.
