Default How to soak a Helmar Stamp

Posted By: Paul

I just purchased my first Helmar stamp. It is adhered firmly to writing paper. I've never soaked a card before, but I thought I'd give it a whirl with this stamp. Two questions:

1. What's the basic process? I'm especially concerned about the thing warping.

2. Are there any special issues with stamps, particularly since they come with glue on the back? If I soak it, will that reactivate the glue so that it will stick to something again? I'd hate to have to soak it a second time.

Thanks.

Paul
