I've read a bunch of stuff on the web about how to soak stamps (most of differ slightly), but I've seen nothing on how many stamps the author of these articles soak at one time. They only say to leave enough room so they don't bunch up.

My question is how many do you soak at a time? I've been soaking about 20 at a go, til I've got the process down. Can anyone give me a ballpark number for how many they do at a time?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,

I usually do about 20 to 40 or so at a time. Counter space is what keeps me from doing more than that at one time. I can always get a bigger bowl to soak them in. But after they soak and I lay them out flat, that's where I start running out of room.

Hi Jon.
Welcome to the forum. Like Triguy my problem begins after soaking when I lay them flat, You do not want o lay them on top of each other as they dry

I've had up to nearly 100 but that is too many to handle at one time. But I now stay with no more than 50 at a time.
