Hello friends,
I've read here, long ago about a brand of hinges that could be very

removed without damaging the stamps, so they were considered the best

It seems it is somewhat difficult to find good ones nowadays. I'll
try the brands you've mentioned on ebay

I find Prinz hinges reasonable, but few peel easily nowadays.

SG Hinges were awful!

In what way? They peeled cleanly and didn't fall off much when you didn't
want them to.

I investigated this a few years ago, and couldn't find any modern hinges
that would peel as well as my SG and 'colector-hinges' (sic). Luckily, I
then found about half a packet of the 'colector', which should see me
through, now that I mainly collect mint, so don't use hinges much.

I cannot see the logic in either using hinges that then have to be soaked
off when I want to move stamps round, or putting cheap used stamps in
plastic mounts that are worth considerably more than the stamps.

I am not worried so much about cheap stamps as more expensive used material.
