Are the labels on them? I've read that if you stick the labels on the backs, they don't cling very well. I think most people use tack it over and over glue. It's been a criticism of SU unmounted rubber stamps ever since they first came out. On mine, I never put the labels on them.

Those stupid labels are worse than useless - the stamps stick fine until you put the labels on, but with the labels they fall off the blocks all.the.time.

Don't use Tacky glue, though - use Tack-It-Over-and-Over, or if you have Mono Multi in the white bottle with the green caps, that works just as well. Also, I've had some used sets I bought with stickers on, and the stickers peeled off the foam pretty easily and the stamps stuck again, in case you want to try that.

It's been an issue ever since they came out with their "clear mount" stamps. I have read so many tips and tricks to make them work - trimming around the sticker so there's a border of uncovered cling foam on the back of the stamp, huffing on the block to steam it up a bit - why go thru all that hassle when the cling foam is fine, it's the stickers that aren't!

Then again, most SU! customers are used to having the image of the stamp on the block, and the stickers are a way to keep that image for them. I've been using SU's stamps on acrylic blocks since back in the day when SU said they'd never sell them that way (just coating the back of the grey foam with repositionable glue) and really only care about indexing on sentiments where it's hard to read what they say from the rubber side.
