Default SU stamp fell apart

While I was cleaning one of my stamps the rubber fell right off the foam backing. This has happened to one of my other stamps as well. What is the best way to re-attach the rubber. (I don't want to unmount.;) )

Thanks!

Default SU Stamp fell apart

I have had this problem in the past and just use Allene's glue on them, set something heavy on top and let dry. They don't fall apart again.

Crystal Effects or rubber cement. I would no use hot glue on the rubber you take a chance of it melting the rubber. Crystal effects is what most demos use.

I would contact your demo and ask her to see if they could be replaced. You have so many days. Crystal Effects while being an excellent glue, (I've used it to repair my glasses) can turn brittle. I suggest rubber cement.

Use rubber cement! CE will harden over time while the rubber cement will remain flexible. CE is great for almost everything BUT fixing stamps.
