Sticking Hawid mounts
G'day TT, Tip:there's no such thing as a silly question, apart from not asking it. I have no idea on your question, however, perhaps you may consider this resource along with the response you will also get here. click on: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...l=en&lr=&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8 then in the second window down "search this group" type in your search criteria eg: mounts Then you will see, your topic is deeper than you thought lots of opinions and suggestions. Good luck. "A.J Todd" wrote in message ... Sorry, another basic question...

TIA I have used many Hawid mounts and my experience has taught me to aviod them like the plague. In order to do a decent job you must have a mount cutter, use carefully to get a nice square cut. Then you must use a Hawid glue pen to seal the top. Here is where the problem lies. If you are not very, very careful you will get the glue pen adhesieve on the edge of the stamp creating a boo-boo. If you do not seal the top the stamps will not stay in place and may even fall out of the mount. I never lick-and-stick the mounts, this makes the mount permanently affixed to the paper. I use UHU glue. Warning, only use one light swipe so as not to disturb the mount glue. The mount will adhere snugly to the paper and when thoroughly dry you can slide a pair of tongs under the mount and it will pop off with little or no damage to the paper. Ralphael, the OLD one |

Sticking Hawid mounts
Hi A.J.,
basically it's cut, lick, stick. I'm using the (black) mounts from Leuchtturm, because their black is blacker than the one from Hawid:-) I further use a Hawid mount cutter (maximum mount height 160 mm). I don't seal the top of the mounts and I had no problem so far with stamps falling out, but I started my album maybe one year ago, so stamps falling out may well be a long-term issue. For souvenir sheets I use the (top and bottom sealed) sheet mounts which I cut using ruler and sharp knife. My albums are intended to be permanent, so I lick the mounts. I'm using thick-paper (250 g/sqm) album pages. If you don't want to stick the mounts permanently, I suggest using non-permanent glue (such as the one used for 3M's post it). I also add Michel catalogue text to each stamp/sheet so that I know what the stamp issue was about. If you want to see what it looks like, mail me off-board and I mail a pic of an album page. Best.

You're supposed to lick them, but I've started to use a small
piece of double sided tape in order make it easeier to re-use the mounts when I revise a page. Jay Carrigan change domain to mchsi www.jaypex.com In article , says... Sorry, another basic question...
