Are there any stamps from Denmark that should not be soaked?

I bought a Danish collection and all the stamps are hinged with lousy white hinges and hinged like a U. On the page and then twice to the stamp at the ends.

I may have to soak the pages to get the stamps off and don't want to run into fugitive inks.

What a mess.

Maybe someone would like to comment on the self-adhesives in case you have any.

I believe you are safe with the one warning that if some previous owner did a bad job of storing stamps, some of the engraved red shades (issued before the 1950s) might run slightly. So you should keep those out of a large batch being soaked at one time. Also you probably know to beware of red airmail envelope markings bleeding off stamp backs if the stamps were not soaked previously.

Zero problems with runny ink etc as far as my experience goes....

But very recent self-adhesives (those with cut-to-shape security die-cut) are unsoakable.
