I'm a newbie to this and was wondering if someone could tell me a sure way to separate fused stamps. Living in Texas we have very high humidity. The collection I inherited has a few stamps stuck together. I have read many ways to separate from the freezer, to sponges, to steam. But the only thing that worked for me was to soak. But the end results are not good. I let them dry on wax paper with books but they don't look the same anymore losing their appeal. Is there any new techniques?
Thanks

Atom, read the directions that Rod222 provides regarding the use of a sweat box in the attached link:

I haven't used it but have heard of a few people who have had some success separating mint stamps with a sweat box.

You could also try a product called "Stamp Lift".
