Default My snap stamps are breaking!

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a way to fix them other than tape? The little plastic piece that holds the rubber is place has broken off of 3 letters! :-( And, I don't think Karen Foster is making them anymore!!!

Can you use Crystal Effects or glue to fix the rubber to the plastic piece? That hasn't happened to any of mine luckily.

I'll try. They are my 1/4 inch ones, so they are so small to work with! Thanks for the idea!

What about switching the rubber on the broken stamps with the letters that you don't use? Or just switch them out as you use them as you will never be using all of the stamps at one time.

I have used Crystal Effects to glue the little plastic piece back on - works great. It has happened to a couple of my stamps, but I still love them!

that happened to me the FIRST time I used them! I just learned that I have to be very, very careful when cleaning them, and not scrubbing them like I normally would. I don't want them to break because I'd be LOST without them!
