Oh, and I have a true newbie question: When it comes to the new (relatively new) self-stick stamps, can they be soaked? Or, for the purposes of this thread, do you cut around the stamp and glue the paper to the new envelope? For the purposes of collecting, do you leave them adhered to the paper or what? Thanks


Chequer:

Nice town, Halifax, N.S. is.

The Canadian ones will soak off in warm water. Forget about the American ones (with rare exception). Keep them on piece with a paper margin of about 5mm all around.

If you are a gluer I suggest Elmer's Archival Safe Glue Stick. The glue goes on blue and dries clear. Plus it is acid free and safe for scrapbooks and photos. I just used some over the weekend to glue some LP self made cachet covers and stamps that someone had sent me. It worked like a charm and there is no physical evidence of the glue.

I'm not worried about the RCMP - they would melt way down here. I don't take the time to cut and paste.
