Hi all,
I used Inkadinkadoos glue pad with the glue they enclosed. The glue will not come off of my rubber stamps. I have tried regular stamp cleaner, StazOn cleaner, & soap & wrm water & a toothbrush. Does anyone have a solution to remove this stcky mess from my stamps or are they a lost cause? I just bought the set & really hate to throw it out. I neede the glue to make Dazzeling Diamonds stick on a very intricate design. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Beth
I have that glue pad too. It's fabulous for where you need detailed glitter. You need to clean your stamp right away with your regular stamp cleaner - I usually do it before I even apply glitter. But if you wait and they're sticky, Ultra Clean will take it off. That stuff is a miracle.
I think things like the glue pads come under the same mantle as bleach and all those related things....which means...clean the stamp immediately after stamping the image...don't give it time to become tacky.
Don'y toss them yet, Beth....Someone will know what to do.

Too true! UC takes everything off! It's the wonder-cleaner, I swear!
If you can't find any UC near you, you might also try JudiKins Permanent and Fabric Ink Cleaner (it says solvent based on the packaging). Unfortunately, it's more difficult to find than UC. If you do find any of the JudiKins cleaner, work in a well-ventilated area--it's got fumes. Safety first. 'K? ;)
That stuff and UC are the two best stamp cleaners I have ever found in 15 years of stampin'.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. We were working as a group on a project & the glue got left on the stamps. I will get to the store & look for the products mentioned. Hopefully something will work.
