When I first started carving I thought that I had to mount my stamps
and I used plexiglass so that they couldn't warp and I don't remember
what glue. Now 75+ stamps later I figured out that not only is it less
hassle/space to leave them unmounted but I prefer stamping with them
unmounted as I get a much better impression. [I use Dick Blick's
Soft-kut, similar but cheaper than speedball's pink stuff]
