I have found most of the new American stamps hard to soak off. When they do they are wrinkled.

Linn's has just released a list of non-soakable U.S. stamps... if someone could get a copy of it up, we may be able to help Phil.

Use lighter fluid and light wasn't that the trick. LOL
To be honest I started using really hot water then when it starts to separate I run it under warm tap water until it peels off.
On the ones That just will not soak I will use the lighter fluid trick for one stamp of each. But don't light that doesn't work so well. |

Gentlemen I would like to report that Ella came through the operation..there is a new crease on her face.but no damage to the paper or the colors..after all it is our code to save a stamp whenever possible !  |

First, you try it on the stamps. If that doesn't work, you drink it and feel better.

Hi All, Don't know if any of you are familiar with this site, but it may be helpful in indicating which recent USA stamps to soak with water and which to soak with other stuff or leave on paper... http://www.virtualstampclub.com/2007usnew.htmlClick on the year of interest then when the page comes up, scroll down the page. It gives you the stamp, Scott# and also shows soakability. Dave N. <>< |
