I hinge previously hinged stamps and lower value definitives. To make my hinges last and maximize things, I've been known to cut the hinges in half lengthwise. Here in the Arabian Gulf, hinges and mounts are hard to come by and I have to order them by post. I also hinge some of my stamps that I have in mounts to make moving them easier at some point in the future.
So reading all post about this, I assume the Hinge do not cause foxing/rust/staining on stamps?
I stop using hinges when my stamp on my old album start to become damage. But now reading about this. Checked my self-print albums and the stamps are not damage like my Old Album.
Wondering something on the paper are causing this and not the hinges?
Collect: Used stamps from Great Britain, Australia, Japan. used Australia KGV Heads. Used Australia Roos. Used Great Britain Queen Elizabeth II Heads (Machins)
I am a dedicated hinger, alas, with the arrival of some early mint stamps in one collection, with mini sheets with a value over $60, I find I cannot hinge these, I feel it to be bad husbandry. I now mix with those light mounts. Not a good look but I feel better doing this.
