Candidate for a soak?

[Ease]

You've got a great first name
I don't know about the soaking for days part, I've only soaked cards for 5-6 hours at most. I do leave them in the typing paper between the 2x4's and under the weight for a couple days though, all have come out flat and dry.
If you're wanting to preserve the stamp, I wouldn't soak it, there's just too much of a chance it will bleed or come out completely.

Eric,

Here are a couple examples of how the stamp might bleed if soaked. I bought these this way and didn't soak them myself so I don't know exactly how these stamps got wet, but you can see the results clearly enough.

Thanks,

Andy,

What can I say?



I will not be soaking the Davis.

Thank you very much for providing these photos.

And my sincerest thanks for those who weighed in here. Your input is truly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Eric

Eric...agreed...great first name

Sorry for misunderstanding the "wait a couple days" portion of your post. I was a tad too deep into a very enjoyable Friday evening when writing my reply

In any case, thank you very much for the advice regarding the back stamp. I truly appreciate it.

Have a great weekend.

Best Regards,

Eric
