i think its a new product being scheduled for release either april or may. suppose to be the same effect as bleach but doesn't use bleach and doesn't smell. I haven't found it for sale when I was looking for it 2 weeks ago. haven't tried since though
Don't you think that it would set normally with a heat tool instead of an iron? I don't see that it would matter as long as it's a high-heat, no moisture heat source.

but soon there will be an influx of itty bitty irons to go with the itty bitty sewing machines... people, people(insert clapping of hands here) everyone must benefit! LOL
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

I have castaway ink pads and I have used them. It leaves the coolest effect on the paper....kinda like batik.
A few hints.
Let it soak into the paper for a few minutes before you iron for the best image.
It does have a bit of an odd smell, for those of you who are sensitive.
Not all papers react the same. so do a test piece first.
It does not harm your rubber. But I would clean up right away just to be sure.
It works on silk scarves and cotton T-shirts too !
I think because the product has to be heated in order for it to strip the colour from paper, so long as you don't iron your stamp before cleaning it it shouldn't harm the stamp.
I'm so sensitive to the fumes, I rarely do any techniques that involve bleach.
I hafta admit, while it sounds intriguing, I just use my White or Vanilla Craft pad for a similar bleached effect. I'm far too lazy to drag out an iron . . . :oops:

I like it cuz it has no holes on the bottom and it's really easy to do wax paper technique, melted crayon or flatten out some ribbon.
I went ahead and ordered the castaway pad. Fran was already sending me a package so I should just have her throw one in there since it's still open right
I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for this one. Although this time I'm not going to go crazy like I did for my stampnstick pad. Took forever to find one and then I wasn't super impressed.
Please write back when you get the pad and tell us how you like it. I'm really interested in seeing if it's good and if it would work with a heat gun. Always on the lookout for new toys!
New product - bleach like stamp pad Castaway
