Thanks for the report. I got the double sided foam tape (Super Stick) from a stamp site on the internet (Pigs Can Fly) and after 4-6 months, and at least 10 stamps, discovered that whatever is used in the glue it does not like the Speedball red stamp material. Hence the reaction you saw. The surface never sets and if the stamp is at an angle, will slide off the wooden back. The stuff works great on regular rubber used in stamps. I have also used 3M paper thin, Dbl sided tape it works great. Not sure why. If you come across any more of my stamps like that just gently slide it back in place.

Just wanted to let you know that the Honesty stamp seems to be suffering in the heat. It is still usable, but it is sliding off of the wooden handle. I didn't want to risk harming the stamp by trying to push it back together. So, I just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks again. You were our first letterbox - The Runway box at Gravelly Point. We found it and were totally hooked.
