Storing Your Unmounted Stamps - Halo Systems
If you are buying unmounted stamps, then you will need somewhere to store them! The best method I have found is to invest in a cheap plastic "pocket" album from the newsagency. Stamp your images onto pieces of card that fit into the pockets. Only stamp 5 - 6 images per card and down one side of the card only. Then buy some Velcro type strips with sticky backing. Place a strip of this tape on the outside of the pocket so that you can attach your stamps beside their stamped image. It's always a good idea to alternate the side of card that you stamp the image and mount the stamps so that the album stays "even".
How do I use unmounted stamps?
You will probably need to purchase (or make) a set of mounts before you can use unmounted stamps. There are several brands available, with "Halos" being the most popular. They are perspex blocks with "velcro" attached in channels. You then adhere sheets of "velcro" to the back of your unmounted rubber - and away you go.
