This Is Going To Sound Really Really Stupid....

At the suggestion of PostmasterGS, I have been using double sided scrapbooking tape to secure my mounts to my pages.



The stuff works great and has allowed to me to move my stamps onto a new page with ease when I find a typo and need to reprint a page.

But getting the tape onto the back of the mount, and then getting the backing paper off as problematic.

So, I decided to go a different route. I got a Tombow removable adhesive dispenser:



This made applying the adhesive a LOT easier. But then I learned that this stuff doesn't hold as well as the Scotch/3M stuff does. My mounts were falling off the pages after a few months.

So, 2 weeks ago I had an AHA! moment...

Why the heck am I applying the tap to the back of the mount? I should apply the tape to the PAGE and then stick the mount to the page.

I immediately smacked my palm to my forehead, like the old "I coulda had a V8" commercials.

You can all laugh at me now.

Wow, you have beautiful nails. You should be a hand model.

Yeah I have that Tombow applicator but haven't used it much. But I wasn't impressed with its staying power.

I wish the Scotch Scrapbooking tape came in a dispenser.
