How to
mount unmounted rubber stamps using EZ Mount
When you purchase unmounted stamps,
you receive the rubber die only. The stamp die is rough-cut and
untrimmed. The foam mounting cushion and mounting block are NOT
included. The stamps will not be ready to use until you mount them. It
is far cheaper to buy rubber stamps unmounted, and UMs are often easier
to store than mounted stamps.
Mounting your own stamps is very easy!
ACRYLIC MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
What you need:
• Acrylic mount slightly larger than
the stamp die
• Unmounted rubber stamp die
• EZ Mount Cling Foam
• Good quality scissors such as Kai
  
1. Peel off the protective sheet from
the sticky side of the EZ Mount Foam cushion. Press the stamp die onto
the cushion. Trim close to the image with a sharp scissors angling the
cut away from the die. The EZ Mount Foam cushion should extend beyond
the die slightly.
2. Remove the protective sheet from the cling side of the EZ Mount Foam
cushion. This will allow for the temporary mounting of the stamp onto
your acrylic blocks. The stamp die will "cling" to the acrylic mount
surface.
3. If the stamp die doesn't cling well, clean the surface of the acrylic
mount with window cleaner and dry well.
 
Please Note: It is not recommended that you
store any of your EZMount Stamps on Acetate Sheets.
Acetate is made with
chemicals that will react with EZMount and any other cling cushion type
product,
making an almost permanent bond between it and the cling.
I took this photograph after just one week of being stored
on acetate sheets.
You can also easily convert your wood
mounted stamps to the EZ mount system! Please see our guide titled
“Converting wood mount stamps to unmounted”
for a step by step tutorial!
