Acrylic Mounting with 2 in 1 glue
by Deb Nott (Angel's Attic)

How to mount stamps using acrylic mounts and 2 in 1 glue.

You may use any set of acrylic mounts, even the backside of HALOS!

  1. Trim your rubber image closely. I also put the item number and company name on the back with a ball point pen. Let ink dry for a few moments.
  2. Using the "Leeho" brand of 2 in 1 craft glue, (usually found in the scrapbooking department of your local fabric store), apply generously to the back side of your image. You will need to pump a new bottle at first to get it flowing freely. Set aside and let dry a few minutes until the milky appearance turns clear.
  3. You are now ready to place your image on the acrylic mount of your choice and stamp.
  4. When you are finished with that image, just store it in a 3 ring notebook binder with some plastic pages in it. The next time you need it, just take it from the page and put it on your acrylic mount.
  5. If you should ever drop it or for some other reason, lose the stickiness, just pick off any fuzz or such and re-apply the glue like before. Ready to go again!
  6. You can use plastic page protectors in your notebook or just purchase some sheet plastic off of a bolt at the fabric store and cut it down. Very economical. I like this method because of the money saving aspects but more for the fact that the glue method holds my image flat and secure until I decide to remove it from the mount.
